PORTRAIT OF Gov. BLAIR Yesterday
we had the pleasure of examining at the
Capitol, a tull length portrait of Gov Blair,
which has been recently painted by Prof
A. Bradish. Ii is placed, for the present, in
the Governors room. II has been painted
with great care by the Professor at the re-
quest OF numerous friends Of the Governor
The compensation paid the artist is one
thousand dollars, while the frame, which is
very handsome one cost one hundred and
twenty-five dollars more. The painting, As
whole, as a specimen OF art, is every way
creditable to the artist, and as portrait OF
the Governor, the likeness, in the opinion
of his friends who are most familiar with
his appearance, is as perfect as could well
be made. In reference to this last point,
on which there might be difference OF
opinion, We give the following note from
Rev Daniel T. Grinnell, Of Jackson:
Jackson, June 6, 1864.
PRoF. A. BRADIsH:-
Ny Dear Shallow me TO express TO
you the high qualification with which have
examined the full length portrait Of Gov.
Blair, which you have just completed in
this city It is fine specimen OF art, and
cannot fail to add TO your already wide, and
we'll earned reputation as All artist OF the
| first class.
From long and familiar acquaintance with
the Governor, think | am prepared to
Judge OF the CORRECTNESS, OF the picture, and
have no hesitation in saying that your
success is complete.
You have given Us perfect likeness OF
the popular and patriotic Governor OF Mich
igan, and in the ever varying expression
OF the human countenance, you have trans
ferred 10 the canvass that one, with which
the friends OF the Governor cannot fail TO
be gratified. AS the picture is to be hung
in the Capitol Of the State, it will be viewed
and admired by thousands, and perpetuate
your memory, as among the first Of Ameri-
can artists, to future generations.
Very respectfully and truly yours.
