3. Interior of the Artist’s Room, in which a gentleman,
habited in a black velvet dress and a grey cloak, is seated,
examining a picture on an easel, the subject of which is a tra-
veller reposing. The painter, dressed in a purple jacket, and
wearing a velvet cap, stands by, with his left arm on the pic-
ture, holding his palette and pencils in his hands. Upon a
covered table at the side are a plaster cast of the infant Her-
cules strangling the serpent, and a basket. A bass viol is
placed against the table, and a globe stands on the ground.
This is a highly estimable production.

4. The Pet Puppy. A lady, attired in a pale red velvet
jacket, bordered with ermine, and a blue silk skirt, seated,
with a puppy in her lap, the ear of which a gentleman stand-
ing by her is pinching, in order to teaze the parent bitch,
which is jumping up against the lady’s knees. A table,
covered with a Turkey carpet, on which lies a guitar, is near
them. This exquisitely finished picture represents portraits
of the artist and his wife. See No. 4, Vol. I. p. 63.

5. The Pet Spaniel. A lady, dressed in a bright green
velvet jacket bordered with ermine, a white satin skirt trim-
med with black velvet, and a white cap. She appears to
have just risen from her toilette, and is caressing a beautiful
spaniel, which is dancing by her side. A table, covered with
a rich Persian carpet, on which are a looking-glass, a silver
box, and some jewels, stands near a window, one casement
of which is open. An antique chair, with a red velvet cushion,
is near the lady, beyond which is seen her female attend-
