ART DISCOVERY
WONDERFUL SARGENT PORTRAIT.
SUPERIOR TO MONA LISA.
London, January 17.

He says: “Mona Lisa is nothing compared with this masterpiece, and it is Sargent’s greatest work, being painted with the deepest feeling.” He considers that it was painted in Spain, and only a stupendous offer would induce him to part with his purchase.—A. and N.Z.
