GROUPING, in Painting and Sculpture, is in fact the 
fame as the art of compofing, or combining the objects of a 
picture, or piece of fculpture. So much has been faid upon 
this fubjeét under the article Composition in, the Aris 4 
Defigny that little can here beneficially be added. We thall 
only obferve, that in a work of great extent in painting, 
there fhould not only be found well compofed groups, but 
fo. groups ups. That is, the larger mafles fhould 
be Evitible into fmaller ones, and all the groups fhould 
ni e; and the parts fhould alfo be fo 
view. 
The nature of the fubject propofed to be treated is the 
only guide for the formation o

illuftration of it.
