C. N. WORSLEY DEAD.

C. N. Worsley was one of the moK distiagiiished New Zealand water colour artists, although in recent years he had visited New Zealand very rarely and had spent much of his time travelling on the Continent, where he obtained the inspiration for much of his work His Italian subjeces were of unusual c-harm. and few art exhibitions have been held in New Zealand without sow a examples of his work, many of which were decidedly ambitious. Recently ; c was announced that the Queen had purchased one. of his pictures on a New Zealand subject. He was on a painting tour at tbe time of his death. There are many examples of his work in Christchurch, including some fine work in the permanent gallery of the Aro Society. Worsley’s Aft. Sefton ** in tli«s Christchurch Art Gallery was given for the Red Cross on condition that the Society raised i;109, and similar gifts were made to other New Zealand Galleries. Christchurch has two other paintings, a very bright Continental Market scene and a street in Venice.
