Cox, at 1000 Rermont ¥, Is being privately dis- Dlaved a lifelike oil portrait of Pres- ident Harding which Mr. Cox last week completed. The portrait was painted by Mr. Cox While the Executive posed in the large north guest room on the second floor of the White" House, in whica room por- traits have been painted of several former Presidents. including Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Those who have viewed the , canvas since its completion, have praised it in higia and enthusiastic terms, both as to the- technique of the artist's work and the likeness of the subject. Connidered a Striking Likene: The likeness is considered a striking | one. having -called for favorable ex. from the President himself | ding. Mr. Cox whl con- ibit the picture privately in his studio until later in the spring. when it is expected that he will have @ public exhibition of his most recent work in the Corcoran Art Gates Mr. Cox's portrmit of the President presents him in a friendly though digni- fled attitude—one so characteristic and 0. familiar to the thousands of persons who have seen him during his working hours in the executive office. He is shown attired in a neatly fitting dark cutaway coat and wearing a dark blue necktier His left hand fingers a worn leather-covered book resting on the edge of a table. and in his right hand is loosely held a piece of paper. In the ground are a bust of Lincoin, which is shown only faintly, and the lower portion of a marble statue of greater Slze which suggests the first President OF one of his earlier successors. Notable Feature Suggested. However. the most notable feature of the portrait is the face of the dis- tinguished subject. The color, so real- istic of a man used to outdoor exer- . is especlally good. The eves, which look directly at you. are very | typical and natural, as is the mouth, which feature some of the' other paint- ers of Mr. Harding have had great difficulty in reproducing correctly. | Mr. Cox, who is a ve of Here-, fordshire.
