• Notes:
  Miss Ohlfsen (born in Ballarat) is well known as a Sydney woman of distinguished talent, whose career in sculpture and painting has led to a resi- dence of many years in Rome, broken by visits to Loudon, and at long intervals by a renewal of life-long friendships in this city. Her return here after an absence of seven years is mainly in connection with the sale of her beautifully designed Anzac medal, in aid of disabled soldiers of Australia and New Zealand. This medal is included in the pre- sent exhibition, as also the much admired Awakening of Australian Art." The latter was placed about nine years ago in the Petit Palais Museum, Paris, together with her por- trait of Gabriele d'Annunzio, the great Italian poet. Sydney Morning Herals Nov 9, 1920"
