WILKIE'S EARLIER PICTURES.—One of the
earlier paintings of Sir David Wilkie may be seen at Mr.
Bryant's,! in St. James's-street, where it is for sale for
it the sum of 1,000/., being exactly as many pounds as the
painter received shillings; a circumstance without prece-
dent, we should imagine, during the life and mental vigour
of an artist. The picture of " Village Card-Players," once
the property of the Duke of Gloucester, for which his
Royal Highness paid 501., has been disposed of within the
last mouth for 500/. to G. Bredel, Esq. The work now
in the possession of Mr. Bryant is entitled " the Pinch of
Snuff." A group is seated outside a cottage, at the door
of which a mother is feeding her child, while her daugh-
ter, a blooming Phyllis, stands at her side. The " pinch
of snuff" is taken by an old man, who is evdcntly unused
to it, for he takes it awkwardly and ungracefully.
has been supplied from the mull of a canny Scotch-
man—a rich and genuine specimen of the country, who
sits upon a wheelbarrow, his day of labour done. There
are other characters to make up the picture. It is a fine
painting ; and one cannot marvel that Sir David was not
long afterwards called upon to paint at prices which gave
hundreds per cent. to purchasers. The hint may not be
lost; elm are many who may buy works of promising
artists, and find the bargain " a good investment." We
could point out dozens that, within a year or two, will be
worth four times their cost. It is unnecessary to allude to
those who, like Bonington and Liverseege, had unhappily
but a vision of the future, when they saw hundreds bidding
for pictures for which little more than the prices of the
canvass had been grudgingly given.—(Since this was
written, " the Pinch of Snuff" has been disposed of for
800 guineas to Mrs. Rothschild, we understand, as a pre-
sent to her son.]— The Art- Union.
