The Empress Frederick Is well known as
an accomplished and charming painter in
water colors. Her majesty also handles the
chiscl with great ability The empress has
had studios arranged both in her palace in
Berlin and in the Kronbcrg chateau In the
Taurus. Tho empress is fond of modelling
busts and statues of her late illustrious
husband, and many of these busts arc ad-
mirablc rs works of art The empress does
not, however allow these to be publicly
known or exhibited for fear of interfering
with the designs and ideas of artists en-
gagged upon representations Of the emperor.
Some time ago the empress commits
stoned Herr Uphncs, the sculptor, to model
colossal bust of her late consort Ono day
the artist was greatly surprised by rcceiv-
ing visit from the empress, who, having
carefully inspected the work, asked leave
to make one or two alterations Herr
Uphncs' surprise increased every minute
while seeing his work under the empress
hands, and by half an hours assiduous la
Dor assume far greater and more natural
likeness. When the sculptor admitted this
and expressed his admiration for the great
talent OF the empress, the latter smilingly
replied that she had taken lessons in mod
cling and Also practiccd diligently. So she
was now somewhat of an amateur. She
commissioned him to do the bust in mar
bic, and in this manner was created what
is considered the best and most lifclike
bust of the Emperor Frederick London
Queen.
