His royal highness Prince Eugen OF
Sweden, the youngest brother of King
Gustav ". is not only highly cultured
gentleman, passionately fond of art,
but he Is himself an artist whose tai

are familiar with his country's art will
realize that this is no mean praise.
Prince Eugen, who has inherited the
artistic instinct of the Bernadotte fam

presence, though he is all the time a
prince. After his sojourn in Paris
Prince Eugen undertook several
lengthy tours, always visiting places
rich in art treasures where he could

having become almost a custom in
Sweden TO entrust some leading
painter with the artistic decorations
OF the principal school hall. 1t goes
without saying that Prince Eugen
does all this gratuitously. He works
with earnestness and zeal which few
could equal. His house at Waldo
marsudde contains a wealth OF art
treasures and within its hospitable
walls he often assemblies the most
famous Of Swedish artists, several OF
whom are his close friends.
