the table, beating time with his hand, and apparently accom-
panying his pupil with the voice. The remaining figure (like
the lady) has the air of a person of rank; he stands on the
farther side of the group, listening to the music. Upon the
table, which is covered with a rich Turkey carpet, are a music-
book, lying open, a silver box, and a candlestick. A spaniel
is behind the lady’s chair. Engraved, No. 12, in the Choiseul
Gallery. The superior excellence and beauty of this picture
has been so unequivocally confirmed, by the prices for which it
has sold, that any opinion on its merits would in the present
instance be superssuous.
