This atmosphere nearly always generalized thepoetic aspects of a season and hour and day.

UNE MEREALFRED STEVENS Il6 ALFRED STE\EXS Belgian, i828-i9o()UNE MERK Alfred Stevens had many of the qualities of a great artist.His eonventional attitude toward form and subjeet-matter pre-vented him from occupying an important place in the evolutionof European painting. He was a colourlst in the highest sense,a line sensitive craftsman, and a painter of exquisite feeling.These qualities are evident in Une Mere. The picture is notsentimental, yet it has much sentiment,—a sentiment suggestedmore by sympathetic brushwork than b) character of compo-sition. The variety of cool tones, the subtle values, the arrange-ment and delicate drawing express a tenderness and rare artqualit) which onh \Miistler could have equalled. Oil on panel, 25 inches by 17 inches. Signed
