EXHIBITION—MAY. 18,-A.
187. The Mother finding ber Infant playiag with tbs
Talons of the Dead Dragon.—H. Turmas w, R. A.--
This fubjeift, from Spencer's Faerie "lateen, is tinely
imagined, and executed throughout in a very bold
111 k. The apprehenfion of the mother for the fafety
of her beloved offspring is well expreffed, not only
in her features, but in her whole deportment, and the
intereiting figure of the child forms .n admirable con-
trail to that of the dead monfter, ftretched in terrific
grAutleur by its fide.
to. Portrait of W. 19Yre, term being in hie hundredth
year.—Mil; SF IL MU RY. •••Thif is an unaffurning title
attached to a vti y pleating compnfition, of which the
portrait of the venerable old man forms but a Inuit
part : it is, however, made the principal figure, exe-
cuted with great delicacy and precifion, and beanti.
fully coloured.—The fcene of the picture reprefents
the interior of a cottage, with Appropriate houfehold
utenfils, &c. all very faithtolly delineated.

41.2. 7wo Girl, applying for ildmiffion at a Hoeft of
Proftaion for deflituft Female: of Charaaer.-.—SAIIIII
ARTIST.—A very interelting defign, coloured with
all that fimplicity and truth which diflinguifh the
production of this lady, who feldom fails in porfuit
of her objcCl, except when the attempts the higher
department of the art.
7. Onfet of the Battle of Trafalgar—R. DOOM—The
'Lips in this work appear to be exaely arranged in
double line of battle, according to the Gazette se-
count of the glorious contat it records ; they are alfo
correElly painted in regard to rigging,&c. and are faid
to be all portraits. The piaure, hoviever,though well
coloured upon the whole, wants force, for the fitua-
tioti which it occupies in the micht of a number of
other productions of a more glaring charafter.
- -

88, 89—Chrifi iaiirvaiag tvicodefaus.—St. Ago.",
mthr.t. An Athdliert—H. 'Feistier, R.A.—From
the faze of thefe piaures, the only two exhibited by
Mr. T. we are led to conceive that they are intended
to form the bafis of Larger works. They exhibit
much chaßity of defign and dignity of compofition,
but in the colouring the artilt has not laboured with
equal advantage, though the clair ofcare in both is
extremely good. Thete may be cunfisleted as the
only fubthautes for fuch produtlions as Mr. Weft
ufually fet before us. We lament, fincerely, on this
account, his abfence.

153. Pop's Belinda—•T. STOTHARD, R. A.—This is
the only pifture Mr. S. has thought proper to exhi-
bit, and had it never teen the light, the well-earned
reputation of the artia would have tiood more fairly
in view than it does by its obtrutien—it is full of
la-
boured nothingnels.

133. Portrait of Mr. Tram—J.Oris , R. A. This
without being an eta& facimik of the highly refpec-
table artill, whole tame is inferted above, is fame.
thing better from its preferring the mental cbataler
of the man. as it appears delineated by nature in his
features. The colouring of this piaure throughout is
in Mr. Opie's very belt manner.
too. Morning, with an old Abbey.—P. J. Da Lou.
rn seaman. R. A. A fine fober tone of colouring
pervades this piaure. The light Peen through the
ruined windows of the building, and the building
itfelf, exhibit wonderful proofs of the (kill of the ar-
till. Perhaps it may be raid, that the green tints on
the fore-ground are not littficiently varied, but that
fore-ground, in other refpeas, is extremely well ma.
naged.
158. A rural Senst...-S•141 ARTIST. This, though
a manerly produaion in regard to execution, is
greatly inferior to the preceding, both in deign and
colouring. We here clole our account of Louther-
bourg's labours He exhibits but three pilures.
120. ?be Children in the reed.—W. Owes. R. A.
" Children in a Wnod," would be a more appropri.
ate title to this piaure, for tho' well conceived, and
painted with all the force, animation, and beauty that
diftinguifb the produaions of this artill in general,
it is dellitute of pathos. Two lovely children are
reprefented comfortably fleeping on a bank, with
the full glow of health beaming in their faces, but
they do not appear the detlitute and worn out
viaims of cruelty deferibed in the old ballad. Either
the painter has not chofen a good point of time, or
has altogether miltaken his fubjea. of which 'wefts.-
?licit y, and not Arcadian &game, is the leading feature.
21.1. el Sleeping Nyrnpb.—J. H , R. A.—
This piaure, both in regard to delizn and colouring,
is a very confpicuous objea in the Exhibition ; it is
however, not new to the Public, bong either a copy.
or the old piaure, with alterations, of a Venus, by
the fame artitt, of which there is already a pint pub-
Itihed.—lt is neverthelefs evidently improved in all
its parts. notwithltandit!g the modeily of the new
title. The fiat is peciniarly fine, and well contra&
est with the back ground. which is rich and appro.
priate.
a ry. Portrait of Lady Caroline ..Frereer ar an Angel,
R. Coswar, R. A.—This Veteran of the Art poll
leaks fo much real knowledge, of which, as if carelefs
of fame, he makes no ufe, and is of himfelf a crea-
ture of such urbane manners, that we cannot bring
ourfelves to fay any thing hard: of his produaions
hut Purely the kind of c.-liering dttlaled over this
piaure is fuch as cannot beaupputed to Cult any being,
