LONDON.—Of considerable
interest as an artistic event
is the exhibition to be
held by Thirty Portrait
Painters at the Royal Institute
Galleries next January and February.
Amongst them are to be no famous
names, but most of the younger
painters of promising talent will be
included. At present there is only
one exhibition a year devoted to
portraiture. That there is room for
another supplementary one there
can be no doubt. The space
required for the hanging of work portrait of stefi geyer by nico jungmann
by artists of repute leaves little room (By permission of J. A. Scnmgeour, Esq.)
