their fhapes more perfect, and their fhadows to be of a whitifli
yellow, bluifh, and in fome places almoft purple. But the mod
perfect, and exquifite direction is the life, which ought rather
to be followed, than any thing; delivered by rule. For the fha-
dows here, mix white with pink, and indigo and white; and
in fome places lake, with a little indigo and white. As for
women's bodies, viz. fuch as are naked, they are to be repre-
sented foft, round, plump, gentle, and tender, and without muf-
cles. On the contrary, the bodies of men are to be repre-
fented (Iron?, fturdy, flout, and vigorous, with the mufcles ex-
actly placed and flrong; which, to do with judgment and un-
demanding, requires time, ftudv, and knowledge in anatomy.
3. Naked bodies are to be painted flrong, lively, and accu-
rate, exactly matching the refpeclive pairs of mufcles and nerves,
fixing each artery in its due and proper place, giving each limb
its proper motion, form, and fituation, with its true and natural
colour; all which to do well may be the ftudy and practice of
almoff one's whole life.
4. Old or aged bodies ought to be eminent for exadl and cu-
rious fhadows, which may be made of pink, lake, and ivory-
black, which make very proper fhadows in appearance, like the
wrinkles and furrows of the face and hands in extreme old age.
Let the eyes be dark, the afpecl melancholy, and hair white,
or elfe the pate bald, and all the remarks of antiquity or age be
very apparent. Pink mixed with lake and red lead make an
excellent fhadow for the bodies of old men ; but, for the ex-
tremeft or deepeft fhadows, either in face or body, mix lake and
ivory-black, which will make an excellent deep fhadow, and
will be very ureful in expreffing the feveral furrows and wrinkles
in the face and hands of very old people, with their dark eyes
and melancholy afpefts.
But, notwithstanding all the foregoing rules, the pofture or
form of (landing, and being, either of the whole body or any
of its parts, ought to be diligently obferved, that the life may be
imitated.
COMELINESS, is reprefented, in painting, &c. by a beauti-
ful nymph of a peaceful afpeCt in changeable taffety ; on her gir-
dle is embroidered a Cupid, and Mercury's rod, holding the corn
marigold in Her right hand, and the bird wagtail in her left.
COMMERCE, is reprefented, in' painting, &c. by a man
with his fore-finger pointing to two mill-Hones (landing by him j
a flork on his right arm, and a buck at his feet. The two
mill-ftones denote action and Commerce, for, being double, the
one can do nothing without the other, nor grind any corn alone.
The ftorks help one another in flying, and the bucks in fwimming.
COMMONWEALTH, is reprefented, in painting, by a la*
c!y refembling Minerva, holding an olive-branch in one hand,
