Mr W. M. Hughes’s plea to a portrait painter “I want mercy and not justice,” is recalled by th© fact that the trade journal “Tailor and Cutter,” commenting on some Academy artists’ use of a Avanton brush on clothes, while lavishing though and skill, on the heads of their subjects, says concerning Mr Hughes’ portrait: “The coat has several marked faults. The sleeve is ballooning at the elbow with impossible folds. Above the pocket looks like a cartridge case. A wobbly lapel is on one side and a blank on the other. The linen collar is wing-shaped, but the wings are clipped, while the pink bow tie is shaped like a harpoon.”
