‘MONTHLY RETROSPECT OF THE FINE ARTS. 
(Communications and the Loan of al! new Prints are requefted.) 
The Affault and Taking of Seringapatam, on the “4s a fimple, and well-chofen copy of nature. 
4th of May, 1799. Dedicated by permiffion 
to bis Majefty, by Anthony Cardon and L. 
Schiavonetti. Painted by -H. Singleton, and 
engraved by A, Cardon. 
AKEN altogether, this is a fingularly 
JL lively and bright print, but in fucha 
fubje& we expefted to have feena greater 
number of figures. The action feems 
defultory, and impreffes the {pectator with 
the idea of a flying fkirmith, rather than 
the regular and formidable attack of a 
‘powerful army on a ftrongly fortified city. 
It is admirably engraved in the chalk man- 
“ner. The contrat between the Eaftern 
- and European foldiers is well underftood, 
and accurately defcribed. : 
The Body of Tippoo Sultaun recognifed by bis Fa- 
mily. Dedicated to the Hon. the India Com- 
pany. Painted by R. K. Porter. Engraved 
by L. Schiavonetti. Publifhed by L, Schiavo- 
netti, No. 12, Michacl’s Place, _Bromp- 
tsn 3 and Anthony Carden, No. 31, Clipftone- 
frreet, Fitzroy-jquare. Price of this, and the 
preceding print, to which it is intended to be a 
‘companion, 4. 45. 
- This is a very good defign; the figure 
of Tippoo is fimple and interetting, 
and the group which furrouads him, is dif- 
pofed in an eafy and natural ftyle. Con- 
fidering how much our Eaft India tranf- 
actions have lately engaged the attention 
of the public, there is every reafon to 
think that thefe two prints, from their 
fabjects,as weil as from their intrinlic me- 
rit, will excite a general interett.

The Shepherd—tompanion print. Printed by G.

fours. : ‘ 
- Thefirft of thefe defigns does great credit 
to the tafte and talents of Mr. Drummondyjit 
The head is well imagined, and the 
minutiz of drefs marked with a judicious 
accuracy, which we have feldom feen at- 
tended to, except in Barker’s Woodman, 
from which it has the additional merit of 
being totally different. He has taken na- 
ture, and nature only, for his model ; and 
whoever does fo, will affuredly produce 
originality; while the vapid copier of a 
copy will give a feeble /hadow of a shade, 
which, like a tranflation froma tranflation, 
will retain little of the fpirit of the ori- 
ginal. It adds another leaf to the laurel 
of Drummond, that’the companion-print, 
‘by fo exact an imitator of nature as Mor- 
land, reprefenting a Shepherd-boy, is avery 
inferior defign. It is a common-place 
attitude, and has not, in any part of it, 
that {weet fimplicity, and ruftic eafe, which 
we generally find in the delineations of 
this artit. The truth is, we have here 
what is, perhaps, the beft defign, Druin- 
mond ever made, contratted with one of 
the worftof Morland’s. Thefe, alfo, are 
fold in colours, a gaudy fafliion, which we 
are forry to fee prevail fo much; but our 
modern artifts, in making their prints fo 
fine, act on fomewhat the fame principle 
as the painter, who, becaufe he could not 
detion a2 hand, gave his figure a pair of 
point lace rufies. 
Landing of William TTI. at Torbay, on the 4th
