OGARTH, in kis Analyfis of 
Beauty, fpeaking of the fine wind- 
ing forms of which the, human body is 
compofed, and which, by their varied 
fituations with each other, become. more 
intricately pleafing, and form a continued 
waving cf winding forms from, one into 
the other, introduces a drawing of a muf- 
cular leg and thigh, which thews the fer- 
pentine forms. and varied fituation of the 
mufeles, as they appear when the fkin is 
taken. off. ‘This was.drawn. from a, plafer 
of Paris. caft of nature, the. original of 
which was. prepared for the mould by 
Cowper, the famous. anatomift. In this 
figure, he obfervées, that as the fkin,1s 
takenoff, the parts. are too diftinétly. traced. 
by the’ eye for that intricate delicacy 
which is neceflary to conltitutee periect 
beauty. . 
The fame objection will apply to Mr. 
Stubbs’s Views. of the Paffions, which ap- 
pear to be in. part built on the bafs of 
Le Brun, and have for their object to fhew 
to the tyro the exaét form.and combination 
ef the mufcles,, without..any attempt, to. 
Geviate into grace. So far, we think, they 
may be very ufeful to the ftudent, as. cor- 
rectnefs.of outline fhould unqueftionably 
be the leading objeét.;. and though. heads, 
thus firipped, being coloured) according 
to.nature, as.i¢ would appear if cavercd’ 
oy 
with fkiz, gives them a moft grotefque ape 
pearance ; yet, as we wifh every artift to 
be well grounded in every feparate branch” 
of his profeffion, we again repeat, they 
may.be a very ufeful ftudy. This fyftem. 
may certainly be carried. too far; as we 
remember an itinerant portraif-paintery. 
who fome years fince was refident in Suf- 
folk, made it his conftant prattice to be= 
gin with painting the bones of the head. 
and fhoulders, hands, &c. he afterwards 
inferted the mufcles.; and finifhed, by co- 
-vering his portrait with fkin and colour 5 
and this, he infifted upon it, was the pro- 
cefs. of nature, and ought therefore, to be _ 
the practice of painters!
