untouched, like that of Miss Conway, that we can realise how excellent her
best work was.
Angelica generally signed her pictures—she seems to have invariably done
so in the case of her larger and more important works—but many that are
certainly by her are unsigned. Her general signature on her works was
“ Angelica Kauffmann Pinxt.,” but sometimes she added a Z after Kauffmann,
“ Kauffmann-Z.” Her paintings are generally in good condition; she
probably learnt from R. Mengs, who was her master in Italy, a good method of
using her colours; the canvases are seldom cracked, and the flesh tints upon
them are wonderfully unfaded.
