Reinecke. Some note-
worthy pastels were shown
by F. Brauer, F. Engel-
miiller, Erwin Starker,
Albert Welti, and others;
while of the graphic artists,
Karl Kappstein, C. Lang-
hammer, Schmoll von
Eisenwerth, Mayrshofer,
Schaupp, and especially
Ernst Liebermann's
coloured drawings should
be mentioned.
A representative collec-
tion of sculpture was dis-
tributed throughout the
building, the contribution
of the several Berlin groups
! after the haul" by josef wopfner being especially strong.
Of figure subjects and portraiture there was, as
usual, a large variety, and much that was excellent;
though here, as in other directions, it would be
difficult to point to any work that stood out con-
spicuously above the general average. Franz
Lipiec, R. Schuster-Woldan, W. Schmurr, Walter
Thor, Curt Riiger, Caspar Ritter, and Sohn-Rethel
may be mentioned among others who contributed
admirable examples of portraiture; and in the
category of figure subjects mention should be made
of Robert Boninger's foy of Life, G. Schildknecht's
study of Peasant Women, A. Welti's Bring forth
the Penates (remarkable for its colour harmony),
Kuithahn's Spring Wind, and L. von Langen-
mantel's Finale.
In the section de-
voted to water-
colours, pastels, and
graphic art, there was
evidence of much
sincere work. Hans
von Bartels was re-
presented by two
vigorous water colour
drawings, the out-
come of a visit to
Brittany, and among
other contributors of
good water - colours
were G. Burmester,
Max Giese, and R. medal commemorating shooting competition by hans schaefer

VIENNA.—It is no uncommon thing in
Vienna for portrait-medals to be ex-
changed at Christmas and New Year
instead of the usual greeting cards, but
naturally only those really well-off can afford to dis-
tribute works of art in this fashion. Another oppor-
tunity for welcome gifts is the fiftieth or sixtieth or
seventieth birthday of the giver, for on such occasions
gifts are presented as well as received. It was to
celebrate his having arrived at the allotted three-
score-and-ten years thit Herr Faber commissioned
Hans Schaefer to model the portrait group, here
reproduced, of three generations—father, son, and
grandson—for presentation to some three hundred
relations and friends, and certainly it is not only
Reinecke. Some note-
