Recipient: László, Philip Alexius de (1869 - 1937)
De László’s portrait of Siklóssy [111404] has been praised by notable figures like Ferenc Herczeg and Gyula Kornis. Siklóssy supports the idea of de László painting Herczeg. He agrees to a 4-page preface for the Hungarian edition of “Painting a Portrait”, requesting selected photos. Plans to exhibit the portraits of himself and Wekerle [111100], and notes the Regent’s portrait [110886], much admired by Sándor Sztranyavszky, will feature prominently in the Nemzeti Szalon; it will be officially unveiled at the opening of Parliament.

Siklóssy shares details from the Nemzeti Szalon exhibition (Oct 1935), praising the prominent display and popularity of de László's portraits, especially that of Wekerle [111100], which he fought to include and had restored. He promises to send photographs of the hang soon. DLA036-0021 is likely a postscript to this letter.
