WORES PAINTS
GOV. CLEGHORN

Theodore Wores, the eminent portrait
artist, has presented to the Pacific Club
his excellent portrait of Governor A. s.
Cleghorn. The portrait has been on
private exhibition In the studio of Mr..
Wores for some time and has excited
admiration. The pose in the picture is
natural, the face being presented in full,
most striking one of the well known face
of the Governor, and the handling of the
tints is specially true.
Technically the work is of the first
order. There is shown the same delicat
and mastery touch which gives to the
portraits of this artist their signal value.
The lights are placed with fine judgment
and the texture is handled carefully and
effectively. The portrait is not hung
but has been placed on a stand, where
it will not be affected by the colors of
the finish Of the reading room.
Another treasure which is in contem-
Neumann, by the same artist Mr..
Wores painted the remarkably fine head
of Mr.. Neumann which now hangs in
the Bohemian Club at San Francisco
and he has been asked to paint another
for the Pacific Club. It Is believed that
he will accept the commission. Should
he do so the portrait will be simply a
bust, and viii be done from the excel
lent photographs which were made of
the lamented lawyer and clubman, and
from sketches which are In the posses
sion Of Mr.. Wores.
The two paintings will be most VAL
liable additions to the treasures not on
ly of the club but of the city, with
which the two men have been so long
identified. Gov. Cleghorn is the Oldest
member of the club and its president,
and the securing Of such a prize as the
Wores portrait of him is most highly
appreciated by all of his friends.
