A Newly-Discovered Portrait of Mozart. - December, 1901
Through the kindness of Mr. Henry E. Krehbiel, of New York City, we are enabled to give a reproduction of a portrait of Mozart which was not known to exist.

The tradition which associates St. Cecilia's name with music is that an angel heard her sing and was attracted to earth by the beauty of her song. In most of the paintings of St. Cecilia this tradition is represented. Grove says, however, that the early writers make no mention of her wonderful musical skill. Read More
