Pester Lloyd. Review of the Hungarian Fine Art Society's 1913 Spring Exhibition. De László's portrait of Baron Harkányi [111091] is painted energetically; different from the portrait sketch [5572], the sitter's expression is described as "conceited" and "almost too serious".

Letter from one of de László's few authorised copyists, Frederick Cullen, confirming receipt of de László's portrait of Mrs Harmsworth [6909]; he will start the copy [4751 or 4753] immediately.
