Z Prof. Borgella, well known here as an artist of merit, completed last week what 1s probably the most beautiful. and important piece of decora- uve work ever executed in this city, and proba- bly the most costly aswell, the price being | jy $2,000. The work was an order from Dir. 0. W. j Potter, Presidént of tho North Side Rolling-Mills Company, end-wag intended as a birthday- present to his wife, It consisted of a most ex- quisit and eluborate screen of four panels of, pale blue silk, 16x30 Inches, decorated with up- propriate designs representing the four sea- sons and mounted fn astyle worthy of so ebarming and delicate an object. Some idea of its completeness may: be furmed when It 1s stated that the composition nnd decoration of these panels occupied Mr. Borgel constantly for six months. The first panel, representing Spring, shows the well-known figure of a maid- en stunding upon a leat while she sips the nectar from tho cup of 2 lily. The female fig- ures used are of course not original, but they are beautifully adupted the subject. The | tigure in this panel is poised upon a begonin tenf, while under and around her 15 a wreath of blue, pink, and white morums-glories and other delicate spring flowers. Little cupids swing on + the vines, and a brilliant bumming-bird hovers over all. “Fhe second panel. shows a figure em~ blematicator Summer. ‘the tlesh tints are eli the tiumbs rounded, and ail diliculties of ma- terial seem to have been overcome. So perfect is this miniature painting that it might be on ivory instend of gilk. Rich buds aad full-bloom: roses znd leaves surround this tigure, and reach far up the sides of the pan The third decoration shows Autumn with its gorgeous colors and tinted ‘leaves in a. wreath surrounding the. central tire, Which covers ber eyes with one’ band, while with tho other she plitces a golden extin- isher over atlower. Little cupids assist with gilded extinguishers to put out ure life of the inty Mossoms. The fourth panelis a winter scene. A maiden is wrapped [rom tbe sterm, and even the cupids are enveloped in some light and niry drapery, and snow and ice complete ‘Tig whole is must minutely and earstully printed in oil colors, and it is indeed a thing of beauty, but almost’ too dainty and delicate to be a “joy forever,” untess put where it seems to belong—in a ginss ease. ‘The framework of tho sereen is in iteclf a work of art. The material is cherry, richly and elaborately curved and gilded in duli and bur- nished gold after Louis XVI. desizns . prepared by Mr. Borzella and executed by a skillful French carver of this city. The bueking is of heavy raw silk secured by gold-plated & and the work as a whole, in respect of original ty of conceit. delicuey and skill in execution, re- ent of tone, and harmonibus etfect, is ¢: itiy beautitul—indeed, a masterpiece in the line of decorative urt. the picture. Decorative Pottery Worle Can Now Be Done Wholly xt Home. Mrs, Prenssner, whose studio is located at No. | 63 Park avenue, where she instructs classes in | painting and pottery, hus been making some very interesting experiments in the latter branch of work which should command the ut- tention of the many lady amateurs of this city who have hitherto been under tho necessity of | sending. their productions to Cineinnati for firing, thereby sutferiug not a little loss of breakage and delay, and an expense far in ad- vance of what it shoutd be if done at home, Mrs. Preussner, at her own expense, paid for the first kiln, tho tiring betng done by Phillips & Co., No. 318 West Randolph strect, and the result demonstrated tho fact that undergiaze ware. glazed and tired as cessfully by Mr. Bennett in New York. | Ken in handling the ware, 10 can be uring.

Miss Lizzie Tuck has treated very successfully | aaillicult, subject uuder ditlicult conditions— viz.: afaded daguerreotype of un old lady in antique apparel. from which has been produced a pleasmy and satisfactory portrait. C.F.

Saunders has just completed a tife-sizo crayon of the decensed daughter of Mr. Freder- ick’ Baumann, and has succeeded in siving the picture the appesrance of having been taken from life. The subject was a beautiful girl of 1, with heavy dark-brown hair, large, pleasant, brown eyes, sind round and regular’ features. Mr. Saunders has also executed life-size crayon of the deceased mother of Mrs. M. N. Scribner, a seen: a strong und lifelike elfect is pro- weed. Mr. Joun Phillips, the portrait-painter, has moved his studio from the Palmer House to the Leland Hotel.

Mr. Minor does not explain, bow- ever, the manner in which be overcomes the natural objections of bis sitters—who, by the way, are mostly lidies—to ascending to bis licht and lotty perch, and we are left to infer that they aré remarkably agile, or perhaps. they send up their photographs.
