102. A view of the Eagle': He at Killarney.—..E.
GAR IV, R. A.—This is one of the moil mafterly
landfcapes we Lave feen from the pencil of this
artift for a number of years. The Rile of colour-
ing adopted is, however, more charaderiftic of
Continental than Englifh or Irifh nature.
t 7. The cutting out of the French col wtte la ae-
ons* front the Boy Cawarat.—P. J. Di Lowritra-
Donau, R.. A.—Mr. De Loutherbourg has here
given a very fpirited delineation of this gallant ex-
ploit. The pieture is, however, ftrongly marked
with the peculiar manner of the artift. The faces
of all the figures bear more of the French than the
Englifh character, unlefs in thofe intended as por-
traits ; fome of which, by the way, it is complain.
ed among the officers engaged in the adion, are
not very good likenefres. The water, fmoke, !kr,
&c. are very richly coloured, but of rather too •
metallic a hue.
198. The Village School, diner time.—W. R. Bice,
A.—This artill does not make any great progrefs.
His lhipwrecked Sailor Boy gained bim conlider-
able reputation, and his manner of entering into
the little diftreires of children is always intereßing,
but in the prefent inftance he has done no more
than tranfpored a number of his own fitires taken
ifrom other pictures—his attitudes moreover want
Icontrait, and his colouring in this is even lets mel-
low than in Come of his former produdions.
172. Fancy..—J. DOWNP4/IN, R. A.—Oil paint.
ing, though he prepares a very clean and brilliant
pallet, is not this gentleman's forte. The only
part of the pi&ure before us deferving notice is the •
Irainbow through which is feen the figure of Fancy.
This certainly exhibits a moil vivid arrangement
of the prifmatic colours.
72. The Princei of Wale: and the Prineili Char-
lotte.—T. LAWEENCE, R. A.—The likenefies in
this pidure are extremely animated and corred,
and the whole defign is that of a great mailer.—
The attitude of the child holding the mufic-book
is, however, rather &totted, and the colouring
fomewhat too glaring.
77. Portrait of the Dub of Leittiler.—M. A. SHEE,
R. A.—This is a perfedly good likenefs, and a
very finely executed pieure throughout ; painted
in a firm Rile, and in which the artift has not hati
recourfe to any of the common place tricks of co-
louring adopted by many of his cotemporarirs.
leo. Fillterweis apoa a Lee. hore.—J. M. W.Tos
N its, R. A. This is a very admirable (ketch ; but
we have doubts whether Mr. Turner could himfaf
make it a good hated pidnre. The drawing i. A
fpirited ; the general touch mafterly, and the di!'
itribution of light and fhade very effedive ; but the 1
'water has a Rony appearance, and the colouring
of the picture is sold, and even dirty. The
'part of it is the beach, and the returning wave.
