Review of Vienna Künstlerhaus exhibition, Spring 1904. De László's "ingenious sketches" praised, comparison to Lenbach. Mentions portraits of Alice Barbi [2340]; the Hereditary Princess of Meiningen [5101]; Princess Pauline Metternich [110466]; Princess of Liechtenstein [7476]; Herr Miller zu Aichholz [11391], and a "simple portrait" of the artist’s mother.

Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring exhibition 1904. Whilst the critic praises de László's swift first sketches, which are "full of spirit and confidence", his more highly finished work is "cooler, stiffer and duller"; his art has lost its way as he has become more fashionable. Mentions portraits of Alice Barbi [2340]; Princess Metternich [110466], and Hereditary Princess of Meiningen [5101].

Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring exhibition 1904. De László described as a "real portrait talent" who can capture a "slight impression in a nonchalant way". Whereas his portrait of Alice Barbi is "a little bit too cloying and soulful" [2340], that of the Princess Metternich [110466] is a "masterpiece".

Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring Exhibition 1904. The critic notes that de László's work can sometimes appear careless. While his fully realised paintings are not entirely satisfying, his more deliberately sketchy pieces—such as the portraits of Alice Barbi [2340], the Hereditary Princess of Meiningen [5101], and Princess Metternich [110466]—are deemed more successful.

Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring exhibition 1904. Pochwalski and de László compare favourably to Angeli. De László is deemed more nervous and wittier, as evidenced in his sketch-like works of Alice Barbi [2340] and Princess Pauline Metternich [110466], pictures that are considered to be more impressive than the artist's more fully realised works.

Letters 0000 Press, 091-0006

Unidentified publication. The author, "Barde", ascribes de László's ascent from "poor Hungarian boy" to a "painter of Popes" to his mastery of the "psychology of human frailties"; de László succeeds at making his not overly charming sitters appear charming and yet alike at the same time

De László exhibits four portraits in room VII of the Hungarian Fine Art Society's Spring Exhibition of 1898 [4825][7243][111074][111114]; Szász compares the handling of Mme Hubay's portrait [4825] to porcelain; Katharina Friese's portrait [7243] "lacks a lifelike sense of unforced nonchalance"; whilst the other two works [111074][111114] are more successful, "neither can be said to demonstrate any kind of progress or development on the part of the artist".
