"PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER" ONCE MORE.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—ln your issue of yebterday a letter appeared signed "Your Art Critic." I should just like, with «hat gentleman's permission, to make a little correction of one of his assertions. He cays, respecting Mr Long's picture of "Pharaoh's Daughter": "The artist has evidently been himself displeased with the work, else why did he not exhibit it in the Royal Academy ? " In his critique in a former issue it will be remembered that he also said that the picture was intended for the Academy but was not fiuished in time. Now, I saw this same painting on the walls of the Academy in the year 1886, and have before me as I write the Academy catalogue of that year, and find that No. 115 in gallery No. 2 is " Pharaoh's Daughter," by Edwin Long, R A. Unless his art criticisms have a better foundation than his fact?, your contributor will be but a poor guide for suph of us as would willingly sit at the feet of a competent critic—l am, &c, December 13. J- L. B.
