International studio (25.1905)

for Rudolf Mosse's Art Galleries, is a dramatic
realisation of a difficult subject, every part of the
statue being in harmony. Other important works

has become famous as one of his most charming
productions in small plastic work. In such por-
traits, and this is no exception to the rule, Klein
tints his marble, for which he has his own special
technique. In this particular portrait he has tinted
the hair, neckerchief, and eyeballs with oil colour.
The lips are only tinted sufficiently to make the
skin actually look more transparent and softer.
The colouring is usually more suggested, more
felt, than actually apparent, with such a faint,
delicate touch it seems to have been wafted on.
Even when Klein does not resort to tinting, he is
happy in his effect of life, as, for instance, in the
figure of the fountain in front of the National
Gallery (here illustrated), the attitude and relaxed
limbs clearly denoting weariness. His portrait of
the great philosopher Nietsche is also illustrated
here. A. H.
