and wide apart: body to r., face nearly to front. Shading

and on lips and jewellery, in yellow. Hair in long ringlets

and chin and jewellery. Hair in a coil high at back of
head, from which ringlets brought forward around forehead :
on it is set a gilt wreath. Earrings a cross-bar of gold to

CC* Young man : Roman (?); angular face, eyebrows,
and nose; no hair on face, but slight incipient moustache
at angles of mouth in thin black strokes. Body to 1., face
slightly to r. Shading, very slight line on 1. of nose, beneath
chin and lips, and slightly on 1. of face; high light for eyes
and a very thin line down nose. Hair thick bushy mass of
black curls. Background quite smooth slate-colour, leaving
clean outline. No drapery shown.
Drawing good and very careful, the modelling of the
shoulders and neck is unusually studied; but the whole
effect is a little finnicking and weak, and wanting in bold-
ness : warm deep red tone, rather flat. Outlines laid in in
purple, with a thin deeper colour for outline of eyes, lower
lashes, and between lips. Hair in thick masses of colour
well worked up : the edge hairs lightly painted in.
Frontispiece, fig. 7.
AH.* Boy: Roman (?): face rather square, hair short black,
eyebrows arched and inclining downwards to nose. Body
slightly to r., face full. Shading very slight down each side
of nose (more on 1.), and under chin. High light on tip
of nose and upper lip. Background dark slate on 1.,
yellowish on r., smooth, leaving outline around face. White
chiton and himation.
Drawing careful, and modelling good; eyes much too
large, with rim round them in Indian red ; edge of drapery
curved. Brushwork heavy, but not bad.
Remelted, with thin layer of wax added.
J. Lady : body slightly to r., face nearly en face, eyes en
face, but pupils slightly to 1. Shading under eyes, nose, and
chin, and slightly on 1. of nose : high light down nose and
chin, and on earrings. Background fairly smooth, greenish
slate-colour. Hair in rows of curls around face and two
coils at back, with gold pin (coloured ochre) stuck through
back obliquely from top r. corner. Earrings, hoop with
three stones, a black stone between two pearls : necklace a
plain chain, but too slightly drawn to admit of distinguish-
ing details; to this is suspended a green stone in gold
medallion: below, a second necklace of alternate green
stones and dull red stones set in gold, very roughly painted.
Deep purple chiton with black stripe, and himation of same
material over shoulder.
General drawing fair, but colouring careless, dirty and
weak : best on dress, where there is a curious effect of
transparency, caused by the cooling of the wax. Hair
effect obtained by stumping out in semi-relief; red upper
outline to the white of the eye; gamboge lines used in
shading of neck and chin; pinkish tone.
Remelted, with thin layer of wax added.
Plate X., fig. 12.
AA. Girl: body to r., face slightly to r., eyes en face:
shading well handled and softened into a bluish background.
High lights faint down nose, on lower lip, and on jewellery;
very small in eye. Chiton purple, and purple mantle over
shoulders; earrings, formed by. gold hoop set with three
emeralds : and two necklaces; upper one bead and reel, of
which the bead is gold, the reel of emerald or green glass;
the lower is of garnets strung on chain of gold, with a
central emerald in gold with two pendent pearls. Hair
parted in centre, taken back in wavy curls, deep reddish
brown ; eyebrows a delicate black.
Work very careful and good, only, spoiled by the hard
line of the edge of the chiton; otherwise, in the drapery,
the light has been put in with good transparent effect.
Remelted, with thin layer of wax added.

Drawing excellent, everything sketchy except the face,
