The success that Amalie Kussner.

instance of what may be achieved by
industry, indomitable energy and
cleverness. There are other minia-
ture painters whose work is technic-
ally as fine as that of the Kussner
miniatures. 1t was the artists knack
of quickly understanding the style OF
her sitter and posing her in such a
way that the picture represented the
