Art MArrERs-THoMAs D. JoNEs's Busr

ART MATTERs-THoMAs D. JoNEss BUsr
OF Hon. THOMAS EWING. Thomas ID.
Jones, the distinguished artist who has
been for some months at Lancaster
engaged in making the bust of Hon.
Thomas Ewing, arrived in the city, yester-
day, with the cast Of his work, which is now
on exhibition at Wiswells, on Fourth-street.
We have passed some time there examining
the bust and are compelled to pronounce Il
the best work Mr.. Jones has yet performed
and the finest cast in plaster we remember
to have seen. We have long regarded Mr..
Jones as one of our first artists, and, prob
ably, in his particular line, he has no supe-
rior. Each new effort seems TO be an i'm
provement upon his previous one, and great
as has been his past success, we are con-
strained to declare this his chef d. euVre.
The head, perhaps the least bit idealized-
is admirable; reminding one of a Roman
Senator in the palmiest days of the Eternal
City. AS one can look at the bust without
being impressed that it is the counterfeit Of
q man of mark and greatness: 1t actually
breathes, If we may SO say, n spirit Of high
intellect and generous purpose such as one
imagines is radiated from the heroes of an
tiquity. The moral and mental develop
ments are superb, and in addition to the fact
that it is an excellent likeness it is redolent
with the highest sense of high-art.
There is life-likeness, finish and
warmth in the face that can hardly be sur
passed by marble, and the wrinkles above
the eyes, the smile on the lip, the expression
Of purpose, thought, and determination, on
the brow, can not be too highly praised. II
is, in a word, most complete success, and
we are proud and happy to be witnesses Of
another triumph for one we have always
claimed as entirely Western artist.
We shall see the bust often, as 1t will re-
main at WiswelPs some days, and may take
occasion TO refer TO it again. 1t will beai
study, like all true works of art, and improve
upon increased acquaintance.
