In 1893 _Hit_, _The Frigidarium_, _Farewell_, _Corinna of Tanagra_, and _Rizpah_ were exhibited at the Academy. Of these the most important is the last named. It illustrates the story of the two sons of Rizpah, by Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, who were slain by the Gideonites. Rizpah, robed in dark blue, is seen in the act of fetching away their bodies, which are shrouded by dull lilac and blue draperies. Vultures circle above, and two leopards approach stealthily. _Farewell_ is a single figure in olive green and plum-coloured peplis under a portico above the sea, where she pauses to take a last look at an outward-bound ship. _Atalanta_ depicts the bust only of a dark-haired girl in purple and white drapery, with a snake-like ornament twisted round her arm, which is bare to the shoulder. _Corinna of Tanagra_ is a half-length figure crowned with leaves, in coloured drapery, resting her clasped hands upon her lyre. _The Frigidarium_ is an upright figure in semi-transparent red drapery, which with the background of gold is reflected in the water beneath her feet.

Graves and Co._] In 1894 were shown _The Spirit of the Summit_, a white-robed figure with upturned face, sitting on a snowy peak, with starlit sky beyond; _The Bracelet_; _Fatidica_, a figure in green-white robes; _At the Window_, a dark-haired boy in blue, looking over the ledge of a window; and _Summer Slumber_. This last is a somewhat elaborate composition; a girl in salmon colour draperies is lying asleep on the broad rim of a marble fountain, masses of flowers are in the mid distance, and a vista of sunny landscape through the open window beyond. In 1895, the last year of the artist's working life, he sent six pictures to the Academy, and completed the wall decoration at the Royal Exchange (here illustrated), _Phoenicians Bartering with Britons_. The paintings were entitled, _Flaming June_ (a picture reproduced in colours for a Christmas number of the "Graphic"), in which the "broad" painting of the sea beyond was a notable exception to the artist's usual handling; _Lachrymæ_, a standing figure in robes of black and blue green, resting her arm upon a Doric column; _'Twixt Hope and Fear_, a seated figure of a black-haired Greek girl, robed in white and olive, with a sheep-skin thrown around her; _The Maid with her Yellow Hair_, a girlish figure in lemon-coloured drapery, reading from a red-backed book; _Listener_, a child seated with crossed legs on a fur rug; and a _Study of a Girl's Head_, with auburn, wavy hair.
