anything she has yet accomplished . There is in this colored martyr feeling and soul , and the artist who once succeeds in rendering these
enters a new career , before which form and composition , however valuable as aids , sink into the subordination befitting them . Nor
has Mrs . Bridell forgotten the value of rich coloring ; the _tiirban handkerchief is a brilliant and legitimate effect , and gives immense
value to , the head . The fault of the picture , and one which detracts not a little from its real merit at first sight , is that Perpetua crowds
too much upon Felicitas , and is herself too full of straight lines ; the fall of the robe , of the veil , of the sleeve , is almost in parallel
lines , and gives an air of hardness and stiffness , beneath which we have to look for the _" noble Carthaginian lady . " It is a great
advance , however , and we cordially hope Mrs . Bridell will follow up the success she has undoubtedly achieved .
Among the many pictures our space compels us to pass over , there are some few so irredeemably bad that we can only wonder
how they gained admittance , * neither the would-be artist nor the art is served by the feeling , kindly though . it be , which secures
such pictures a place on the walls . It will be observed that the Female Artists' Exhibition this year
numbers among its contributors several well-known and established names . This in itself lifts it above the exhibitions of other years ,
in which the absence of notabilities in the world of art was an unpleasant feature . It is also satisfactory to find French artists
contributing , headed by so distinguished a member as Rosa Bonheur . How is it that none of those amateurs who formed such a charming
exhibition of their own last year at the French Gallery send their productions here ? We must not omit to mention that a Sleeping
Child , by Mrs . Thornycroft , and the Baron Triqueti ' s beautiful vase ,
grace the room .
