A fine example of the work of P. H. [sic] de Laszlo is his portrait of Mrs Chichester Crookshank [4130]. Mr. George Houston’s diploma picture, "North Ayrshire," is one of the outstanding landscapes. It is in brown tones, and the darkening and simplification of the foreground gives the composition a feeling of strength. The blue note of the foreground stream is effectively introduced.
