Reference
“In
this department . . . is an oil painting by Willie T. Trego, the promising
young artist-student from this city and now at the Philadelphia Art
School. The picture is
entitled ‘The Castillian’ and is an original and picturesque study showing very
rapid and marked improvement in every detail of the painting. It is one of the
best pictures in the exhibition.” (“Spring Exhibition,”
