No: 11. A Landscape.—J. F.A.istfc.roN, R. A.
lc is with much pleasure that. we witneis the re,,
turn of this Artist to the Exhibition, as he appears
to be always solicitous to copy Nature in her ge-
nuine simplicity. This Piaure has not only that
simplicity, hut an air of venerable grandeur in de-
sign and execution. The castle is an interesting
piece of ruins, and the rocky projelions in front
ate bold and striking. The whole of this work, in
colouring and general effea, impresses the mind
with a dignified tranquillity.

No. 57. Portrait of Lady F. yonscmby, as Rebecca.-1:

On E, R. A.

We congratulate this Artist on his improvement
in the representation of female graces. This is one
of most successful efforts in ,that respect.. The
attitude is unaffeled, though perhaps the Lady al.
together has too modern, an air fur a Scriptural cha-
rkter. The colouring is in harmony, and the
whole is painted with great force, but without hard-
ness. The Artist has shewn an uncommon degree
ef mechanical dexterity in representing the pitcher.
The whole is beautiful and picturesque.

No. 74 Portrait of a Gentleman.—Sir W. Brno HEY, R.A.

A very good likeness of CH•AaL ES SMALL PY E US,
Esq. a Gentleman weal-known in the political
world, and whose poetical talents entitle him to
great respea, though they were unluckily employed
►n celebrating the v►rtue and wisdom of a fore►gn
Potentate, whose eccentricities began to appear at
the same moment with the elegant but unmerited
panegy tic to which ,we have alluded.

No. Ito. Portrait of j. P. KEN:BLE, Esq.—T. LAWRENCS,

R. A.

This Pi lure has merit, but we cannot consider
it as the happiest which the Artist has given of Mr.
KEMBLE. It is by no means a becoming resem.
blance. The features are hard, and the left eye
seems to have an, essential blemish. There is an
appearance of affided contemplation in the attitude.
The colouring, particularly of the coat, is by no
means pleasing, and the whole is broken with scat.
tered lights, The Artist must bestow much more
attention on this PiEkure, to render it an adequate re.
pre:entation-of the original.

zzt. Portrait ofjAms CURTIS, Esq.—T. LAWRENCE,
R. A.

There are few Portraits in the room that will ex-
cite more pleasure than the present, as it exhibits a
very good likeness of a Gentleman very well-known,
and very much esteemed. It certainly is a little
too bulky altogether for the person of the original,
hut the likeness is strong, and the Piaure is one of
the must Tirited and masterly works of the Artist.
