W.A. Museum and Art Gallery.—Sir George Shenton has presented to the Art
Gallery an excellent full-sized copy of “Harmony,” the well-known and
popular painting by Frank Dicksee R.A. The original is in the Tate
Gallery, London, and was copied by Mrs. Percy Arnold, a sister of Mr. A.
F. Grace, who painted “Back to the Old Home,” for which the Gallery was
two years ago indebted to the same generous donor. The copyright in
“Harmony” is the property of Messrs. Thos. Agnew and Sons, who have kindly
allowed this copy to be hung, on condition that it be neither copied nor
photographed. It does not appear to be sufficiently well known that anyone
may draw or paint in the Art Galleries from any of the works that are not
copyright, on the condition customary in all the important art galleries
in the world. Application for permission should be sent in writing to the
director.
