IHE FINE ARTS.-ouI ttleIlleu lelloW
Theodore A. Gould, has left at office portrait
representing the great German poet, Schiller. We
do not ourselves pretend to be connoiseur of the
fine arts, even to possess any very accurate
knowledge of their scientific detail. We are al
ways satisfied with any painting which peases US,
and work of art which produces III our mind emo
tons of pleasure, deem to be possessed of merit
as painting But portraits require more than the
mere excellence of artistical execution; it is neces
sary that they should pourtray the peculiar and in
alivdual characteristic of the person represented
sWhether Mr.. Gould in his portrait of Schiller has
succeeded as well as he undoubtedly has in the
Wlition we are of course unable to say. Almost
every person will have formed in his own mind
some idea of the ilustrous persons of history poets
sr warriors. BY a strange coincidence, our ideal of
Schiller is brought into being presented to our sight
as well to the imag ination by this portrait of
Gould's. Whether he has in reality accurately de-
aimeated the great German, we cannot decide; but
81 it snot the head of Schiller ii is at least that of
poet. 1t can be seen at our office by any one who
may be DESTROYS of viewing really good painting.
