21. The Girl and Dog. A fine interesting child with
brown hair and a chubby face : she is attired in her night
clothes and cap, and appears to have just risen from her couch,
and seated herself in a chair in order to caress a pet dog,
which she holds in her arms; the little animal, ssattered by
such notice, is excited by the presence of some stranger,
towards whom the eyes of the child are also directed. The truth
and naivete of expression, the beauty and perfection of the
drawing, and the freshness and purity of the colouring, render
this one of the choicest, as well as the most estimable productions
a wreath on her head. Engraved by C. F. Macret; and also
