portance. It reflects the greatest honour upon the

him in the scheme.
ERLIN.—Robert F. K. Scholtz is one of
the rising masters of etching in Germany,
an art which is making great head-
way here, many new devotees making
their appearance, while artists who have long since
earned a reputation in this field are resuming
practice of the art with renewed zest. Scholtz hails
from Dresden and is the son of one of the higher
judges of Saxony, his mother being English. He
studied at Budapest, at the Dresden Academy, and
under Carl Marr, at Munich, and since then he has
travelled in many countries. After devoting the
earlier years of his career almost exclusively to
portrait painting he entered the ranks of etchers in
1901, and the number of his plates is now not far
off a hundred. A real son of the impressionistic
age, he finishes his plates in the presence of
nature. His aim is always the epigrammatic
expression, the strong and immediate effect. There
is always a feeling of freshness in his renderings
of scenery, and his facial studies and architectural
motifs show that he is capable of manipulating
his needle with much delicacy. He settled in
Berlin some few years ago and now divides his time
between the capital and a rural retreat at Lands-
berg on the Lech. J. J.
Walter Hauschild has earned a well-deserved
reputation in Germany as a sculptor of talent and his
name is known too beyond the boundaries of his
native country. Born in 1876, he began his artistic
career in Leipzig in the year 1893, when besides
attending the art school of the town he went
through a practical course of stone cutting in order
to better equip himself for his future career. How-
important this training was may be seen from the
“‘village church and
