For Ever. By Herbert Schmalz. more
people, art, sketches, windows, romance, music, musical instruments
To the genre of sentiment, not history, belong Mr. Herbert Schmalz’s “For Ever” (page 352) and Mr. Arthur Stocks’ “Her Sweetest Flower” (page 349); the one is romantic, the other realistic, but both are very tender and sincere in feeling. Mr. Schmalz’s group is posed in lamplight, moonlight shining outside, and consists of a very lovely golden-haired lady and her dark lover, a troubadour, who sits at her feet pausing in his love-songs to mark the paleness of her cheek as she lies on her couch; the two may be supposed to pledge their troth “for ever,” whether for life or death. The young artist has a considerable gift of colour, and is master of no little effective power. (p. 350)
