A FAMOUS PAINTING
Public attention is SO often bespoken
by false claims made in the name of art
that 1t is doubly delightful to hail one
of the few rcal treasures brought to Los
Angeles. The recent arrival in this city

the opportunity Of seeing one Of the
most noted works Of that artist. Vic
tor Lagye in early life studied art in
Paris and won the Prix de Rome. On
returning to. his native country he set
tied at Antwerp. where he executed
the paintings for the wedding hall In the
Palace Of Justice. He afterwards be-

stands in a regal yet simple pose, one
hand outstretched towards the vanish

coronet, is very beautiful. The other
woman. still kneeling, is dressed in old
rose and blue, but the colors are SO man.

effect. The harmony is perfect and the
picture Is full of that quality so neces-

of Los Angeles, and through his kind
