FINE ARTS.
Ix our "Peeps at the Print-Shops," we observe a Portrait of the lately de- ceased Sir Edmund Nagle, which appears to be a faithful likeness ; also one of the Duke of Newcastle's member, Mr. Sadler, well engraved in mezzotint, by LUPTON, from a painting by W. ROBINSON. Mr. ROBIN- soN's style is bold and manly; his heads possess a physical grandeur of character, and are well drawn and understood. Two portraits by him of the Earl of Enniskillen and Lord Grantham have been very ably and effect- ively lithographed by SCARLETT DAVIS.
The Rose Bud. Engraved by THOMAS WRIGHT from an Original Picture by Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE.
A sweet little gem of art, very tastefully set id an ornamental wreath of roses. It is the portrait of a little girl, more remarkable for intelligence than beauty ; but the head has that charm of style which LAWRENCE threw around all his works, and that infantile character which is so pleasing in his delineations of childhood. Mr. WRIGHT has stippled the flesh with great truth arid delicacy, and has executed his work with taste and skill in every other particular. The effect is extremely well preserved, and evinces a feel- ing for the original on the part of the engraver.
The Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours opens to the public on Monday. We shall notice it next week.
