30. The Affectionate Mother. A woman standing at an
arched window, watching with maternal solicitude her sleep-
ing babe, which a little boy is kissing. An enlarged picture.
In the Collection of the Duke of Mechlenburg, Ludwigslust.
31. Historical. A beautiful Woman deprecating the anger
of a Warrior. The scene exhibits the interior of the vestibule
of some noble mansion, in which is a young lady, attired in a
yellow vest and a blue mantle, bending on one knee, with her
left hand placed on her bosom, and the right raised in a sup-
plicating attitude to a man dressed in the costume of a
Roman warrior, who with a threatening aspect stands over
her, in the act of drawing his sword. Beyond them are seen
three women, escaping from the apartment. A table, covered
in part with a Persian carpet, is on the left; a vase stands
on the marble ssoor, and a little spaniel is shewing its anger
at the intruder. This subject is perhaps intended for Tar-

which a woman on his right is waiting. An infinite variety
of objects relating to the business are introduced in every
part of the shop and on the window-sill.—The Companion.
