Government and the town
of Ostend to do an eques-
trian statue of King Leopold
the First, to be placed at
the entrance to the Park.
The pedestal will be com-
posed of columns of pink
marble, with low-relief
work in bronze.
A sale of the works left
behind by P. J. Clays, the
celebrated marine painter,
who died recently at the
age of eighty-three, took
place a few weeks ago at
the Maison d'Art. He
was the first seascapist in
Belgium, and indeed in all
Europe, to break away
from the traditional storms
and shipwrecks, whose wild
lines and extraordinary
colouring had so strong
an attraction for his old
' Samarkand " decorative panel by c. korovine master, Gudin ; the first
contributed by M. Feri de Szikszay, and
a few others, of whom I shall have
something to say later.
We have; pleasure in giving on page
2 71 an illustration of M. Philip Laszlo's
preliminary sketch for his remarkable
portrait of Pope Leo XIII. G. M.
