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].
Letters Miscellaneous 0000 Press, 090-0174

Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring exhibition 1904. De László described as a "real portrait talent" who can capture a "slight impression in a nonchalant way". Whereas his portrait of Alice Barbi is "a little bit too cloying and soulful" [2340], that of the Princess Metternich [110466] is a "masterpiece".
Letters Miscellaneous 0000 Press, 090-0178

Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring Exhibition 1904. The critic notes that de László's work can sometimes appear careless. While his fully realised paintings are not entirely satisfying, his more deliberately sketchy pieces—such as the portraits of Alice Barbi [2340], the Hereditary Princess of Meiningen [5101], and Princess Metternich [110466]—are deemed more successful.

Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring exhibition 1904. Pochwalski and de László compare favourably to Angeli. De László is deemed more nervous and wittier, as evidenced in his sketch-like works of Alice Barbi [2340] and Princess Pauline Metternich [110466], pictures that are considered to be more impressive than the artist's more fully realised works.
