The paper discusses a series of four 17th century Flemish market scenes in the Alte Galerie of the Universalmuseum Joanneum and the National Gallery of Slovenia which originate in the collection of Counts Attems in Palais Attems in Graz, Austria. The comparison with paintings by 17th century Flemish painters, especially the works by Frans Snyders, his circle and his followers, reveals a variety of aspects in terms of their content, including the fruit and fertility symbolism as well as the role of female consumers and traders in the early modern Netherlands.

The article deals with eight portraits of the Koper patrician family Carli, preserved in Poreč Regional Museum. The family members are dressed alla turca to signify their service as dragomans at the Ottoman Porte. Their accurately painted clothes, headdresses and jewellery are discussed in the light of recent costume studies and contemporary travellers' books. The author attempts to identify some of the family members depicted in the portraits on the basis of inscriptions, painted details and comparison with portraits of Central European and Venetian envoys to the Porte.

The paper deals with the oeuvre of the almost forgotten painter Vera Blumenau Simonič (1881–1973), with an emphasis on the year 1901/02 which she spent in the Anton Ažbe’s school in Munich. Surviving from that time are a map of drawings and letters which she wrote to her parents and sister. Vera’s letters are precious testimony of her life in Munich and Ažbe’s school. She was disappointed as Ažbe did not admit her to the advanced class. Later Vera spent thirteen years in Russia; Russian fauvists (Mashkow) had strong influence on her painting.
