which suited it , to become more and more familiar , individual , abounding in detail ; so also has the Art of acting itself outgrown the sing-song monotony and conventional gesticulation of early tragedians , to manifest itself in the more accurate conception and representation of individual character . It haa stepped from the stilts upon the carpet . It has lost something of its ideality to approach closer to reality . It is easy to apply these general principles to the young artist upon whom I am sitting in judgment , and to say that she is begi n ning her career very wisely , by trying to master that which is most general . She , reads intelligently , carefully , often musically ; she is so young , so courageous , so painstaking , that I have only to advise her to continue steadily practising her art , and she will reap the reward .

WINTER EXHIBITION OF SKETCHES . Aet begins to bloom in London perennially , instead of coming in and going out again with the strawberries . Already , the Exhibition of Sketches has seen its third winter , and , as a sign of vigorous young life in this hardy annual , an offshoot appeared last year , at the gallery of Mr . Grundy , in Regent-street . The only fault we find with the present collection is , that so many of the " sketches" are in no sense sketches at all . When the plan of this exhibition was first laid down , it seemed a good thing that all who cared might study the artist ' s process from the beginning . Even those persons whose contemplation of perfect works is undisturbed by any care about the means or method taken to produce them , will , out of that very love and faith , observe with interest the working of artistic power at all stages of its action . It is a pity , therefore , that a collection of original studies for pictures should include so many examples that look more like engravers' copies from pictures —and pictures , too , which everybody has sean . Ilossetti is one of the few contributors who have adhered to the very letter of the call for portfolio studies . His two principal sketches foretell pictures of extraordinary ambition . In one , Giotto is snown painting Dante ; and the other is thus named : " Beatrice , meeting Dante at a Marriage Feast , denies him her salutation . " Dante leans against the painted wall , and the ladies , among whom is Beatrice , seem to mock his confusion . Mr . W , Holman Hunt gives the original sketch for his " Valentine and Proteus , " exhibited at the Royal Academy last year . It is in watercolours , if we remember rightly , is much smaller than the original picture , and is almost as daintily finished . Taking into account two facts , the
labour which painters of Mr . Hunt ' s school usually bestow on their experimental designs , and the distinct specification in the catalogue , we refrain from expressing a doubt of this sketch ' s authenticity ; but it is more difficult to treat Mr . Elmore ' s " Hotspur and the Fop" with the same consideration . There is one more subject-sketch , as we suppose it must be called , by Mr . Maddox Brown , who seems to have given up being Perugino . The picture was hung in the Octagon room this year , and was' feebly named " Pretty baa-lambs . " As in the preceding instances , the sketch is a miniature version of the picture , equally finished . It is a pretty meadow scene , the grass being , in colour and consistency , like boiled spinach , well beaten , and smoothly spread . The human figures and the lambs are like children ' s toys , modelled with unusual accuracy . Edward Armitage has a beautiful sketch of a little girl ' s head in jprofiie , and a landscape study of twilight effect , with shadows in the
water , very hastily touched . G . A . Williams ' s " Old Moat , " hardly more finished , is a bit of nature reclaiming the work of human hands . There is a fair number of landscape studies by the same Williams , and * others of his prolific family , as well as by Lee , Stanfield , Boddington Hulme , Richardson , and Paul Naftel , whose Guernsey sketch , with the stonebreakers' sheds , is true in every part . So may be justly said of Duncan's views on the Thames and Lea , and of his sketch at Yarmouth . The Callows , whether at sea or ashore , cannot get on without rust and " dry-rot , but it is wonderful to see what they will do under the influence of these stimulants . They both make as good a figure here as at the Old Water Colour Gallery . Branwhite is rapidly thawing , and hia wintry not his best this timeNext to of themennettthe
scenes are . one , B , New-Society man , shines out through the airy spaces of his charming " Forest Scene . " But Davidson ' s corn-fields are the brightest pieces of nature here , all the purple and gold in Vacher ' s Italian bay scenery notwithstanding . There are the names , also , of Linnell and John Martin , but nothing more of these painters worth mentioning . Hine replaces Dodgson ( who is unaccountably absent ) , but Hine does not come fairly by his fog . In Dodgson ' pictures there is an airy veil drawn over all ; in these of Hine ' s , the objects , hard , flat , and edgy , are at the same time mealy and indistinct in themselves , not obscured by any medium . The scenes from Macbeth , by Cattermole , are somewhat too much in the spirit of an artist with whom , as an illustrator of fiction , Cattermole has been
associated . Still they are remarkable drawings ; and as drawings manifestly thrown off in the heat of invention , help considerably to sustain the character of the exhibition . Equally serviceable in the same way is the large , bold crayon study by the Russian avtist , Ivons . Three human animals in a rude hut , playing dice , a pig emerging from under the table , and some drinking vessels at hand , make up the composition . The figures are admirably drawft , and are placed in strong relief by shadows from a side-light . The absence of lines is remarkable , the whole work being an eccentric species of cross-hatching , hardly to be distinguished from the work of a stump , though really the entire production of the crayon . The drawings by Carl Haag are very little short , in finish , of those he exhibits as complete pictures . ; a girl at her toilet makes one of his best . Absolon , Jenkins , and Oakley are , as painters of life , surpassed by
Topham , and still more remarkably by William Hunt , in whom the sense of nature is always apparent . Whether he paints blackberries , plums , and birds ' -nests , or the rustic face flushed by desire to gain these prizes , nature is always the first idea raised in the mind of the spectator . Absolon adventures a " new reading" of Mariana , and certainly the idea is ingenious ; though , without the catalogue , there might be a difficulty in recognising Mariana in her bedgown . But there is life in the pretty , distrait , school-girl face , and a natural grace of pose , very different from the swarming angularity of Kenny Meadows ' s women . Absolon ' s second study , " A iteverie , " is a very poor affair . On the whole , we like best to meet him on a village green at holiday-time ; for , like Hunt , he has a feeling for rustic beaut y * though he will have it all grace , and flowered bodices , and ideal hayforks . One feels inclined to believe that he has read Herrick in a theatrical sense : — " There ' s not a budding boy or girl this day , But is got tip and gone to bring in M ^ y . " Q-

" Books lit Tira Running" Omnibuses . —An omnibus has always appeared to me to bo a perambulatoiy exhibition-room of" the eccentricities of human nature . I know not any other sphere in which persons of all classes and all temperaments are ho oddly collected together , and so immediately contrasted and confronted with each other . To watch merely tlie dilTerent methods of getting into the vehicle and taking their . seats , adopted by different people , is to study no incomplete commentary on the infinitesimal varieties of liuniiin character— : is various even iih the varieties of the lmman face . Killing in an omnibus was always , to me , like reading for the iir . st time an entertaining book . —Coi / mns ' h Basil .
