Since his return from New York Mr. Uhl
is again busly al work in his old quarters,
and in his studio number of interesting
new canvaseS are to be seen. He is now
engaged upon second portrait of Mr..
Augustus kountze, and the likeness which
he is also making of Mrs. Kountze is
strong in expression and full of character.
A small but effective full-length portrait
that he has just completed shows DR.. Will
lam H. Lyon seated in an easy comrorta-
BILE position, expressive of leisure keenly
enjoyed. The likeness of Commodore
Guest, which Mr.. Uhl has painted for the
Army and Navy Club is rather the most
striking portrait in his studio, and the d.
rectness and simplicity of handling is
worthy of notice. Mr.. Uhl has recently
prought to light some of the sketches
which he made abroad many years ago.

ing tonal studies and bits of color. it is
probable ne will use scme of this material
