Commentary from the International Studio

We are reproducing an etching by Miss Anna Airy, one of the most gifted English women artists, examples of whose work it has often been our pleasure to give in The Studio. Etching represents only one side of Miss Airy's activities; no visitor to the Pastel Society's exhibition can have failed to remark her panels there, and her art in oils has frequently been represented in the most important exhibitions. But it is perhaps on account of her exceptional draughtsmanship that she has made her position, and in her etchings and pastels her feeling for line has greater opportunity for expressive play. Miss Airy is holding an exhibition of her recent work at the Fine Art Society's Galleries in the near future, and the collection includes some delightful studies of plant and insect life, about which we hope to say more on another occasion.
