THE MAN WHO PAINTS WITH EGGS.—The Italian portrait painter, Annigoni, breaking a dozen eggs to prepare an egg emulsive mixture for painting a portrait of the Duke of Edinburgh. The picture has been commissioned by the Fishmongers’ Company as a companion to one the Queen painted by Annigoni last year. The first sittings by the Duke have already been given. Annigoni began his career as a traditional painter in oils, but he now prefers a paint produced by mixing beaten-up eggs, oil, varnish, pigments, and a small quantity of white wine.
