...with a better artist and in a better cause (a loan exhibition at the Widenstein Galleries for New York's Child Welfare Committee), Maud Dale revived the work of one of M. Bouguereau's contemporaries, the late Giovanni Boldini. Giovanni Boldini ("Zanin" to intimates) was a society portraitist as artificial as any who ever stretched a lady's fingers to tickle her vanity.

...Ferdinand of Bulgaria to paint the Archbishop Gregorious. His portraits of the Archbishop, the Prince and his wife, gave his work the cachet it needed. Since then he has immortalized almost the entire Almanack de Gotha, visited every royal court except that of China. Like every brilliantly successful court portraitist, he has had to be a diplomat as well as an artist.
