210 Fine Arts’ 
merits of a rival magazine !’”,—a thing, we 
opine, as yet unheard of in the annals of 
periodical criticism. The truth is, that the 
art of pictorial embellishment has reached a 
height to which it never approached in for- 
mer times ; and its comparative cheapness is 
no less noticeable than its other merits. We 
have here two portraits, each of which would 
be cheap at the price of the whole publica- 
tion of which it forms the frontispiece merely. 
That of the Duchess of Northumberland is 
executed with great care, and the likeness has 
that individuality about it which almost proves 
it a resemblance. But the portrait of the 
Marchioness Wellesley is really an exquisite, 
and, in its way, a perfectly faultless work of 
art. There is no part about it that has not 
Exhibitions. [Frs. 
truth, force, and delicacy, each in a high 
degree, and the whole mingled together 
with singular taste and spirit. There is a 
brilliant precision in the character of the 
face ; the Sesh, of the left arm in particular, 
is alive and warm; the dress is admirably 
discriminated in its details; and the land- 
scape back-ground is delightfully tender and 
tasteful. Among the many excellent por- 
traits.of our English beauties, which this 
work has presented to the world, we cannot 
help looking upon this as the very best 
and most striking. The painter is Mr. 
Robertson, and the engraver Mr. Dean, 
who should congratulate himself when he 
hé&s such paintings to engrave from.
