painter, was remarkable for some compositions of
great breadth and noble conception. The majority
of his works are truthful and loving renditions of
reality. He drew his inspirations from scenery at
home as well as abroad, particularly Italy. His
natures morles were often luxuriously arranged and
yet of a sustained style. The sculptor Otto Lessing
and the architect Paul Wallot were not characteristi-

Shepherd he won a prize in the competition for
the adornment of a public place in Western Berlin,
and he has just now executed a fountain figure for
the German Embassy in St. Petersburg. His
talent leans towards Renaissance art, beauty and
fullness of form, as well as expressive movement,
being distinguishing features. Yet there is a
certain tenderness and chastity in his youthful
figures, a psychic craving which reminded one of
earlier stages of art development. He has been
strongly touched by Rodin and Sinding, and it will
be interesting to watch the influence of Rome on
this rising artist.
