A. E. Chalon, R.A.—Mr. Chalon rarely paints a picture but his portraits on paper are so beautiful as to be entirely per sc as works of art.

His slightest drawings are worth scores of other painters* finished productions. No man who can boast of a handsome female in his family should neglect to have her charms perjetuated by Mr. Chalon. He can (to employ a metaphor) “ gild the lily and add a perfume to the violet.*’
