Recipient: László, Philip Alexius de (1869 - 1937)
The duchesse de Gramont asks when de László will be returning to Paris as she has received enquiries from the duchesse de Montmorency and the comtesse de la Rochefoucauld. The Romanian sovereigns recently visited Paris. The comtesse de Noailles' portrait [5144], a "vivid success", has been damaged by a spot of varnish and she wishes to consult the artist. Paris is readying itself for the Olympic games—the duchesse de Gramont organised the Degas exhibition at Galerie Georges Petit (DLA015-0075 previously contained a cache of letters from the duchesse de Gramont and duc de Guiche to de László. The cache of letters has been split and the new DLA numbers are: DLA015-0082 to DLA015-0092, AD 18/02/21)

Sender: Tatlock, Robert Rattray (1837-1934)
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

A long list of those who attended, with a description of their appearance. Praise for de László as the "ideal painter of lovely womanhood" and "wonderfully successful" in painting men's portraits too
