Picture is Described.
The picture was described by Mrs. Ella Bond Johnston, former president of the Richmond Art association. It was largely through Mrs. Johnston's efforts that the portrait was painted. In 1912 Mr. Chase promised his friend, Mrs. Johnston, that he would paint his portrait especially for the Richmond association. He made the purchase p-ice much lower than he could have secured elsewhere, because he said that since he was an Indiana man he
would be very glad to have his work and portrait exhibited in an Indiana museum. , Mr. Leeds Donates Half. Mr. Warner Leeds donated half the purchase price, the remaining half was
donated by various citizens of this city. Mr. S. Johnston met Mr. Chase again at the San Francisco fair- this summer. Mr. Chase had not started the self-portrait but be promised he -would paint it as soon as he. got home. He did. The picture was exhibited in the East before it was sent here last week. Critics who viewed it proclaimed it
the best work that Mr. Chase had ever produced.' Principal Frank G. Pickell made an
acceptance speech for the- association.
He thanked those that had made pos
sible the securing of the picture for the
exhibit and especially did he thank Mr. Leeds., Large Crowd Attends.
Considering the bad weather, the re
ception was unusually well attended. Mrs. Paul Comstock estimated this morning that there were about 150 persons present. Between 7:30 and 8:30 o'clock the guests were entertained with a concert by the high school orchestra in the auditorium. From the auditorium they went to the art gallery "where the unveiling exercises were. held. i The work of Mr. Chase is much more than a self portrait, it is a picture with an interesting study. This was the decision of almost everybody, who saw it last night. It was far, above the expectations of most of the guests, Mrs. Comstock said. Not. only has William Chase painted a picture of himself but he has placed the portrait of himself In an interesting picture. A window In the background fills the
picture with light. The artist has por-
trayea mmsett standing , before his easel. - His coat sleeve is. pushed up above his shirt cuff in an aggressively workmanship ' abandon, : and the ex
pressive gesture of the hand seems to
affirm the fact that he is p. craftsman even to the tips of his fingers.
