The Sun. Lord Leverhulme is so satisfied with de László's portrait of him [6043] that he has ordered three replicas [6047][6048][6050]; this differs markedly from the portrait Augustus John painted of Leverhulme, which was famously defaced (text is the same as DLA095-0087).

The Daily Telegraph. Review of de László's exhibition at the French Gallery. De László can make his sitters appear life-life; he is quick and clever with his tools, rather too quick at times. In 'The Drawing Lesson' [11772] he shows how serious his work can become when he steadies his pace; his portrait of The Marquess of Lansdowne [5959] is another where the forms are more fully worked out
