Studio- Talk
Portraiture has an accomplished exponent in the
person of E. Werenskiold. He is not content with

dahl, whose painting, Two Sisters, is reproduced.
In his art we can trace much of the same intense
human feeling for fellow-creatures which we find
expressed in the works of the Norwegian writers,
but his imagination is also powerful enough to
create a dream-world.
