The Milk-maid, defigned by Builly, and engrav- 
ed in Mezzotinto by F. G. Huck. 
The woman is elegant, but the child 
rather Germanic; the rabbit, perched in 
a horn-collar, would by fome be called a 
conceit, but it may be natural. 
(Edipus and Antigone, painted by Therenin, en- 
graved by F. G. Huck; an upright Print. 
This comes under the. fame defcription 
as that which precedes it. : 
Breaking the Ice, painted by R. Weftall, R. A. 
engraved by W. Lenoy. 
This print is well defigned, and well en- 
eraved in the dotted ftyle. The leaflefs 
trees, and ice with the {now upon it, have 
a dreary appearance, and give a very good 
winter-fcene. 
Going to the Mill, painted by R. Weflall, R. A. 
exgraved by W, Lenoy. 
The unconquerable obftinacy of an 
afs, which a fellow is pulling by a halter, 
to quicken its pace to the mill, is well 
imagined. 
The Sad Story. R. Wefall, R. A. pinx. Foba 
Ogborne fculpt. 
A boy and a woman, fitting on the 
ftump of a tree; the woman, felling her 
tale of woe to aruftic, who, attended by 
his faithful dog,: is leaning on his ftaff, 
and attentively liftening to her lays, 
The figures are fimple, and the landicape 
is inthe manner of Rubens. 
The Woed-cutter and Cow-boy. Wefiall pinxit. 
Ozborne fculpt. 
This wood-cutter, unlike fome wood- 
cutters, which have been lately delineated, 
is young and handfome ; the cow-boy is 
mounted upon an a{s, and the furrounding 
{cenery is picturefque. 
Niobe, from the firft Pitture on that Subje, 
painted by R. Wilfon, Efg. R. A. in the Col- 
leétion of Sir George Beaunwnt ; the Land- 
cape engraved by Sam. Smith, the Figures by 
William Sharpe. 
The very high reputation of Mr. Wil- 
fon's land{capes has increafed, is increaf- 
ing, and ought to increafe. The firft 
print, from his fecond pi€ture of Niobe, 
-was engraved by Woollet, for Mr. Alder- 
man Boydell ; and a finer picce of art it will 
not be eafy to pointout. The print now 
under confideration, is from Wilfon’s frft 
painting of that fubject. We have fre- 
quently feen and admired the picture. 
Retrofpect of the Fine Arts. 
[May Is 
The figures in the print are engraved in@ 
very good ftyle by Mr. Sharpe: the land- 
{cape is worthy of the artilt, and the 
whole is pleafing and forcible. It is very 
well engraved in ftroke. 
Mr. Ackermann has juft publifhed a 
fall print of 
The Crucifixion, Agar del. et feulpt. 
It is correctly drawn, and well en- 
graved. 
Two etchings, from Weftall, that pro- 
mife to be pleating and picturefque prints, 
are in a forward ftate. The fubjeéts are 
poetical, and fuited to the tafte and talents 
of the artift, viz. 
The Birth of Shakefpeare, and the Birth of 
Otway. 
He has lately imported a Jarge print of 
The Transfiguration. Raphael Sanétius pinxit. Ra- 
phael et Antonius Morghen feulpt. 
This print has merit; but, when we 
heard of an engraving by Morghen, we 
thought of his print from Leonardi da 
Vinci, and raifed our expeétations too 
high. ‘This is by no means equal to that, 
aud indeed it will not be very eafy to find 
a print that is. We have been told it was 
begun by Volpato, Morghen’s matter, and 
only finifhed by the artilt whofe name is 
annexed to it. 
A Pair of Prints, Solitude and Gaiety. Samuel 
Drummond pinxit. Thomas Williamfon feulpt. 
Thefe are half-length figures, and have 
fome refemblance to Weftall’s Sappho and 
the companion, but are of a fmaller fize. 
They are too much alike, and Solitude is 
too round-faced to convey any idea of 
contemplation or thinking. ‘The engray- 
ing is in the chalk manner. 
Young Hannibal Sqvearing Enmity to the Ro- 
mans. H. Singleton pinxit. C. Turner fculpt. 
This, like many of Mr. Singleton’s pic- 
tures, wants folidity, and breadth of light 
and thade. ‘The objeéts are too fpark- 
ling, and, from the reflexes being too 
firong, the figures look as if they were 
made of polifhed metal. The engraving 
is mezzotinto, and,we fhould fuppofe, a fair 
copy of the original. 
The Hurricane. Gafpar Pouffin pinxit. The Fi- 
“gures etched by F. Bartolowzi, R. A. the 
Landfcape etched by Fittler, A. R. A, the 
Whole finifhed by Pollard. 
From the number and refpectability of 
the names annexed to this print, oe is in- 
clined to expect fomething more than will
