A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ARr-We have inst
seen at the studio Of Mr.. Thomas Gagliardi,
CaPltoi extension works, bust, life size, of the
late lamented Thomas Crawford, sculp tor, whose
career as an artist all lovers Of the ne arts agree
In extolling, and whose unfortunate death In the
meridian Of lfe and at the zenith of his artistic
lame, all unite In regTetting. L on this bust Nj
Gag laIdl has bestowed all the elaboration TO
which love for his old tutor and high estimation
OF his talents could excite gratitude in the human
breast and the result of his labors is great in
deed The utmost details were carried out with
professional precision and care which has won
Tor the sculptor his present fame as a delineator
OF the human face and form upon the imperish a-
BILE marble. The remembrance of his old friend
ana anu companion Is shown in the lifr-like express
sion which he has conveyed to the features OF his
subject. The model from which this bust is
ehiseled Is also by the sculptor, who made il
from photograph Of the orig inal taken at Mu-
nich some years ago, assisted by his own reten-
tive memory Of the peculiarly intelligent features
OF his old friend. Tomorrow evening Mr. q
leaves Tor Boston with this beautiful peace Of art
which Is designed for the Howard Atheneum al
that place On his way he designs remaining in
New oTk for week to exhibit II there; the pro-
ceeds OF which exhibition he designs applying
towards the expense of max lag another bust from
the same NODDED, TO present TO the city of New
York.
