Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1866-03-13

MISS RANsOAS 6ItDIo--n We KNOW ~
place where a half hour can be spent more
agreeably than in the beautiful studio OF
this worthy lady artist, in Northrop and
Harrington's Block, which, as a notice on
the door says, is open to visitors from two
till five P. NJ, daily. Observing this quasi
invitation we yesterday resolved ourselves
into a visitor and applied for admittance,
when we were ushered into the most psrlor-
like studio we ever visited, and was more
than pleased with what we saw there.
Familiar faces of distinguished statesmen
looked at US from many a canvas; well
dressed, comedy women regarded us blandly,
as they would 8 friend; and beautiful,
golden-haired children gazed at us con-
idingly or timidly, as is their wont to do,
and all looking SO life-like and real that We
thought, truly, it is a wonderful art that
can thus make the plain, dead canvas glow
as with life and character, thought, senti-
ment and feeling.
The question, /" Can the dead be made to
live again" seemed here afirmatively an
swered, as some of the faces and figures of
those whose light and grace, we knew, had
long since gone out in the void, greeted us
fapiliarly from these walls, and what we
had thought of as inanimate dust seemed
here quickened and made radiant with life
and beauty.
Prominent among these is a sweet picture
of the deceased little daughter of General
/ 7 C.rG.Il -oa1r41- raTrHaI from m
ambrotype taken in the child's infancy and
another after her death, from which the
artist has created a face so real and SO like
the "Loved and Lost, that those who knew
her best pronounce it perfect. 1t is a
charming picture and quite as life-like as
the very excellent one of the General,
painted from life, under which this little
gem now hangs.
In like manner the artist has caused a
fresh, ine-looking country maiden, now
dead, the betrothed bride of one of our
young soldiers, to rise like an exhalation of
of the morning from the dead canvas to be
"a joy forever"
A very animated looking infant, in elab-
orately-embroidered white robes, held on
the lap of a finely dressed, Madonna-like
looking woman, is another fine specimen of
this kind Of creative art. We trust the art
ist will pardon Us for saying that we
thought the clsthing the best part of the
picture.
But Miss RS chief triumph in this de-
partment Of portraiture, in which she has
been so e%minently successful painting the
dead is, we think, in the very fine portrait,
just completed, of Lieutenant Morgan. cnly
son of Mrs. Colonel Charles Whittlesey, of
this city, who, as our readers will remem-
Der, was killed near Atlanta whilst leading
a spirited charge against the enemy. He
was left on the battle field where, we are
informed, he was buried the next day by a
young rebel maiden and her servant, who
so carefully marked the grave that it was
readily found a few months since by his
mother and the friends accompanying her
in her sad search for the precious remains
of this deeply-lamented, gallant young
officer, which were removed to oswego,
N. Y, and there laid to rest beside his
father, Colonel Morgan. The picture,
painted from two small photographs. the
artist never having seen the original, is a
marvelousiy speaking likeness, and is en-
tirely satisfactory to his mother and friends.
as it may well be, for it is one of the best
portraits We have ever seen.
Although Miss R. is professionally a por-

forte, that she can do fine things in the way
Of landscape art, her studies from nature
and the large picture of P~ut-in-Bay and
Gibraltar Island, now on the easel APP
preaching completion, clearly attest. Of
this picture, which promises so finely, we
will speak more fully when it is finished.
BoUND FOR THE PENTTESEnRY.-Sherif

1t will be seen that DR.. Hosea W. brings
up the tail of the procession. 1t has been
that he and Priscilla Wood, both
residents on Seneca street, but OF unlike

way to the State prison. We do not vouch
or the truth of the story.
1t is, perhaps, proper to say in this con-
that the DOctar has been lionized

emales, during his confinement in Jail.
