“ LE DERNIER BAISER ” (LEGENDE D’ORPHEE)
the event, which will also be commemorated by
the issue of a medal in silver and bronze.
STOCKHOLM—The artistic season of 1910
began with a very extensive and interest-
ing exhibition of Count Louis Sparre’s
works ranging over the last twenty years.
This painter, though belonging to one of Sweden’s
oldest families, has lived so long in foreign countries,
especially France and Finland, that he is nearly
unknown to the art-loving Swedish public. Count
Sparre is the same type of artist as the Finnish
painter, Edelfelt, an experienced and cultivated
technician with a sure eye for the possibilities of a
motif. His versatile talent shows as well in his
water-colours as in his oil-paintings or etchings
and he devotes himself as much to landscape
painting as to portraiture or genre painting. Sparre
settled in Stockholm a year and a half ago,

and since then he has devoted himself almost
wholly to depicting the beauty of Stockholm, dear
to him since the days of his childhood. Readers
of The Studio have seen some examples of his
Stockholm pictures in the last Special Summer
Number (“ Sketching Grounds ”), in which Count
Sparre with pen and pencil gives due praise to Stock-
holm as a sketching ground. We reproduce on p. 32S
his Spring Evening in Stockhobn. His portraits
range from old to young ladies, from elderly states-
men to young boys and girls, one of the most char-
acteristic being the portrait of young Miss Cornelia
Kuylenstierna, reproduced on page 328. The laugh-
ing, mischievous-looking girl in a white dress stands
effectively against the green wainscoting and the
big blue-and-white china pot. As Count Sparre’s
excellent graphic work has been both spoken of and
shown in The Studio and its Special Number on
Modern Etchers, we leave it out in this short resume.
