Studio- Talk

birds, ravens, vultures and
parrots are very vivid and
show him to be a keen
observer of their habits.

Of sculpture there was
but little. Franz Barwig
showed a quaint group of
figures in carved wood
representing the "Serenis-
simus" of a petty German
Court in all his glory.
Kindermann, His Serene
Highness's Chamberlain,

"summer" (wood intarsia) by count Herbert schaffgotsch ls jus' presenting the

(Hagenbund, Vienna) Burgomaster to him, the

whole of the Court being

well-known portrait painter, exhibited for the first present. The entire group of figures is excellent,
time here, his work being distinctly meritorious for Barwig, more perhaps than any other wood-
in its freshness and orig-
inality of treatment.
Edmund Steppes' land-
scapes are pleasing. Some
excellent work was shown
by Adolf Gross—sunny
gardens rich in colour;
and garden subjects also
attracted Professor Beyer,
whose pastels are of a
rare charm.

Oskar Laske, the archi-
tect to whom the merit
of arranging the exhibi-
tion is due, contributed a
number of water - colour
drawings full of life and
freshness. Dr. Junk, an
artisc of marked talent,
exhibited some decorative
woodwork as well as some
excellent coloured etch-
ings. Franz Simon, F.
Michl, Vaclav Maly, Lud-
vig Kuba, likewise con-
tributed some good speci-
mens of their work.
Lino Vesco's Maria, re-
presenting the Madonna
seated in the open with
an old village for a back-
ground, is a work inspired

by much religious fervour. "gossensass on the brenner" (pastel) by ludwig Ferdinand graf
