Prince Bismarck. They both were intelligent,
searching interpretations. The likeness of the
painter, Gysis, presented by Franz von Defregger,
was exceptionally interesting in line. Its colours
also were rich and happily placed. Four examples
of Gysis' own work were also shown, among them
being the TTwr C2^a7*<?2%. Walter Thor's
original works received considerable attention.

practically into a fortunate silhouette against a
background of greyish peacock-green. Another
portrait of a woman artist was that of Mrs. Stultz,
by Karl Ziegler. Mr. Ziegler gave an admirable
work also in a portrait of himself. Z7T322 W72
