Notts man’s adventure near Paris
George Bissill, the artist and ex-Notts, miner, whose mining drawing caused a sensation at the Redfern Galleries this spring, is now working in Paris, where he bids fair to repeat his London success. Collectors who have seen his work are delighted with it, and many galleries have offered him their hospitality for a show this winter. Mr. Bissill is now at work on a series of French scenes. His greatest difficulty is with the language. He was sketching a picnic party in the country near Paris, when he attracted their attention. They were not flattered at his sketch, which was more conspicuous for character, than beauty. They mentioned this in no uncertain terms, and the whole party were setting upon him, when Arnold Haskell, the critic, who spoke French, saved the situation. An offer of beer soon calmed them, and Bissill continued his sketch in peace.
