Paints genre subjects, some of which are “Captain John,” in National Museum; “Laughing Child,” in C. P. Huntington Collection; “Who Comes?” in private hands in Denver, etc.

Mrs. Hudson’s pictures of Indians, the Pomas especially, are very interesting, although when one sees the living article one wonders how a picture of him, conscientiously painted and truthful in detail, can be so little repulsive—­or, in fact, not repulsive at all.  At all events, Mrs. Hudson has no worthy rival in painting California Indians.  If we do not sympathize with her choice of subjects, we are compelled to acknowledge that her pictures are full of interest and emphasize the power of this artist in keeping them above a wearisome commonplace.

Her Indian children are attractive, we must admit, and her “Poma Bride,” seated in the midst of the baskets that are her dower, is a picture which curiously attracts and holds the attention.  Her compositions are simple, and it can only be a rare skill in their treatment that gives them the value that is generally accorded them by critics, who, while approving them, are all the time conscious of surprise at themselves for doing so, and of an unanswered Why? which persists in presenting itself to their thought when seeing or thinking of these pictures.

HUNTER, MARY Y. Four silver medals at Royal Academy Schools Exhibitions; diploma for silver medal, Woman’s International Exhibition, Earl’s Court, London.  Member of Society of Painters in Tempera.  Born in New Zealand.  Studied at Royal Academy Schools.

The following list of the titles of Mrs. Hunter’s works will give an idea of the subjects she affects:  “Dante and Beatrice,” “Joy to the Laborer,” “An Italian Garden,” “Where shall Wisdom be Found?” and the “Roadmenders,” in Academy Exhibition, 1903.

The only work of Mrs. Hunter’s that I have seen is the “Dante and Beatrice,” Academy, 1900, and the impression I received leads me to think an article in the Studio, June, 1903, a just estimate of her work.  It is by A. L. Baldry, who writes:  “In the band of young artists who are at the present time building up sound reputations which promise to be permanent, places of much prominence must be assigned to Mr. J. Young Hunter and his wife.
