FINE ARTS.

1

We have just been favoured with the sight of
portrait, engraved by Giller, from a painting by Han'
cock, of Lord Middleton, who is represented sitting
on a bank, under the shadow of a spreading tree, ac'
companied by his favourite spaniels and shooting rneY"
Two of the dogs are jumping up, and fawning upon bin?'
while others are lying at some' distance, apparently
resting themselves after the fatigues of a mornings
sport. Whether the portrait be a likeness of his
Lordship or not, we cannot say, but. as a work of art'
it is executed with 'more care and precision than a°l
other portion of the engraving—especially the coun •
'lance, the lines of which are very skilfully and flatter
•
ingly delineated. Thought is apparent there, as t4s°
the wear and tear of• some sixty years and upwards;
still there is nothing harsh or crabbed in the expressit
it is simply that of a mild, beneficent, unasstive
country gentleman. The portrait, in fact, is just.°
of those which are sure—a difficult task to achieve a
to be recognized as a likeness by the original/ all
' bears a striking resemblance to Dr. Valpy,•of iteaa•
t
ing. The poney is drawn with as much attention to
anatomical correctness as Landseer exhibits in his
nt
drawings of animals. We will not say, that in Phi
of a certain life-like ease and vigour, it equals t,
great master's sketches—for no artist, whether of Per:
cient or modern times, with the sole excepti°n' pip
naps, of Paul Potter in his cattle, comes near him
this respect—but it is certainly not very far ideritille
The attitude of the spaniel who is reclining in
fore-ground, with one fore-leg stretched out in ltotnri°o
indolence, and the other lightly bent under him, °fix
much truth- and ,closep.ags,...4...observation. We °tier
seen the same thing a hundred fillies. The exPr'ss
sion of the animal's countenance is that of keennen
and sagacity, relaxed for a time by weariness' ed
is just dropping off into a delightful slumber,- °roll d
no doubt by a hard clay's running. The back-group
is made up of a quiet, secluded sylvan scene, wirho
umbrageous park, dotted with flocks of sheep; in thg
distance ; and gleaming waters, kept cool hYediate
shadows of overhanging trees, in the inter° with
space. We have not of late seen an engravlOg
u'
which we have been so much pleased as the orious
fore us. It is utterly free from all merettiel
of
attempts at effect—particularly in the dispositioni.
the lights and shades, which are nicely and 11°1°o
ously blended.

This is the portrait of Jack Hall, a fisherwi'l..os
Eton, and well known to all the young chub-vriliPip‘
and gudgeon-fishers of that scholastic institution.,
vo
is just stepping out of his punt, which is moored /0
chain to the bank, and looks absorbed in thought'oil
though he were calculating his morning's Ons' fool
attitude is remarkably natural, slouching, yet free t.t
anything like servility. We suspect, however' Digi
his hat is too trim in shape to be characteristic.

Mr..Byng's buck-skin breeches, it should show td
of very considerable antiquity. A little to the rig. 0
our honest fisherman, the fine old College reessq. the
graceful head, with the Thames flowing below I,t..;the
view, therefore, we conjecture, has been taken filigg

the present is a clever one.
