Robert VI. Sully's Work.

Editor Of The Times:
Sir.-I notice this mornings issue OF
The Times. in commenting on the por-
traits in the Loan Exhibition, attributes
an ideal head Of Pocahontas to Thomas
sully. 1t is due to justice TO correct this.
In the first place, there is nothing Ideal
about the picture. except the dressing OF
the hair and the costume. The face and
figure were copied from an original por-
trait and the dressing OF the hair ana
the costume only are idealized.
Secondly. the picture was not painted
by Thomas sully, but by Robert NJ. suny.
and presented by him. with several otner
pictures. to the Virginia Historical So
cietv.
Among the paintings in the Loan Elk
hibition are several others py hooeI,
NJ. Sully, which II may be as Wen 10
identify now-one of Bishop Moore PANT
ed from life I'm 1879; one OF John ran
dolph. OF Roanoke. painted from Ire, III
the same year: head OF the e,uer
Booth. in the character OF hafnie',
These pictures can very easiiy ne ,uen-
titled as the work OF kooer' "a. ou"s :,
and as they have some little historical
value, have no hesitation In claiming
them as his work.
