toward the observer. There are no ac-
cessories and there is no attempt to-

PAINTING is tina. Of the Italian school.

clean-cut. The whole may be regarded
as a frank definite statement. peculiar

trs the popular conception Of Mr.. Cool

more psychology in this portrait than

has undoubtedly gone beneath the sur
face and has interpreted personality,
character as well as appearance. This
