Re: [Cz-L] Popovici portrait on the Rathaus wall...

Mimi,
  By quality you probably mean the representation of Popovici,
  is it true to life or not.
   As very few of us, if at all , met Popovici in person it is hard to
tell.
    Is it photogenic ? Yes it is , even the too small hat looks chique .
     Compared to the row of mustachio- brandishing burgomasters of
      the old times , the painting shows a modern man , the
      contemporans can easily identify with.
