Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring exhibition 1904. Whilst the critic praises de László's swift first sketches, which are "full of spirit and confidence", his more highly finished work is "cooler, stiffer and duller"; his art has lost its way as he has become more fashionable. Mentions portraits of Alice Barbi [2340]; Princess Metternich [110466], and Hereditary Princess of Meiningen [5101].
