A Gustav Ingler drawing from Munich named Pissing Mother appears at Hoyd’s this week. The piece is praised for academic technique and realism, showing children at play with conscious care. Other notable items include A Bryan Wall's harmonious autumn study in Gillespie’s window and Waltz portraits of children. The Veresthagin collection may tour Pittsburgh, with expected gallery talks in Allegheny and the Carnegie gallery. Delacroix’s The Lion Hunt arrives in New York, estimated at $23,000. The New York Times notes strong early sales at the National Academy exhibition. Rinehart’s New York show earns praise for pen and ink skill and character portrayal. Millet’s Angelus debated by A R A Brett as possibly overvalued. A Japanese art collection opens in Philadelphia, and a London artists club is planned near Chelsea.
