Princess Parlaghy completes a full-length portrait of King Peter of Serbia

November 3, 1903

Princess Parlaghy, who has just completed a full-length portrait of King Peter of Serbia, told a “Chronicle” correspondent that she found the King very affable, patient, and quiet – very different from the Emperor William when she painted his portrait. “The Kaiser,” she said, “sometimes took the brush out of my hand and made some light strokes with it.” The King’s picture has been exhibited at the officers’ casino, and the proceeds are to be devoted to charitable purposes.
