lf-length, is a pleasing picture; warm in color and
carefully painted, and gives evidence of rising talent. The head is
perhaps slightly deficient in careful drawing; but few artists are
competent to paint a lady's portrait; and this gentleman should not feel
discouraged, though his work be found slightly deficient in that grace
which is so difficult of attainment.

BODDINGTON, (London,) exhibits three landscapes, all in a style peculiarly
belonging to the English school. They possess great charms; facility of
execution, and delicacy of handling.

BONFIELD.--No. 168 is perhaps the best of his productions. If it were not
for the pinky hue of the sky, this would indeed be a charming picture.

F. BAYLE.--No. 25; 'Picture-Dealer.' A deep-toned, carefully-painted
picture, and evincing much promise in so young an artist. We are glad to
perceive that it is purchased by the American Art-Union.

G. L. BROWN.--No. 400; 'View of the Tiber.' Too much of an imitation of
old pictures. In seeking this quality, the artist has lost sight of the
truth and freshness of nature.

CHAPMAN, N. A.--Mr. CHAPMAN presents nine pictures this season, and all in
his usual brilliant style. No. 116, 'Peasant Girl of Albano,' is
exceedingly rich in color, and forcible in effect: a few cool tints about
the head-dress would give perhaps still greater value to the warm tones.
No. 189, 'Hebrew Women,' is this artist's gem of the year. Well composed,
pleasing in color, and carefully finished, it expresses the occurrence
with fidelity and truth. No. 204, 'Boy in Indian Costume,' is an
attractive picture; but No. 213, 'On the Fence,' is more to our liking.
The story is well told; the city beau is carefully and truly represented;
and the dogs are admirable. No. 263, portrait of Doctor ANDERSON, the
father of wood-engraving in this country, is capital. No. 266, 'Lazy
Fisherman,' is Laziness personified. No. 341, 'Sketch from Nature,' in
water-colors, is an exemplification of this gentleman's versatility of
talent.

J. G. CLONNEY, A., has two pictures in the exhibition, Nos. 7 and 160. No.
7, 'The New-Year's Call,' is decidedly the best. The negro is well
painted. Mr. CLONNEY'S works generally evince great observation of nature
in this class of subjects.

T. COLE, N. A.--Mr. COLE exhibits but one picture, and that comparatively
a small one. It possesses however many of the admirable characteristics of
his works, particularly his early ones. It would be di
