drawn through the tip of tbs nose and
nall way between the eyes. On each
side of this middle line there will be
the same breadth of head, of cheek. of
chin, and of neck, and each iris will
be in the middle of the whole of the
eye. If one now go to one side, the
apparent horizontal breadth of every
part OF the head and face will be dimin-
lshed, but the parts on each side of the
middle line will be diminished equally
and at every position, however obiique,
there will be the same breadth of face
ON each side of the middle line. and
the iris will remain i'm the centre of the
eyeball, so that the portrait will pre-
serve all the character of figure look

ly DO so wherever he stands. In por-
traits the apparent motion of the head
is generally rendered indistinct by the
canvas being imperfectly stretched. as
the slightest concavity or convexity en-
