(2) After the painting by G. Dow. This is another of those wonderful specimens of careful and correct drawing, clear and transparent coloring, and minute and elaborate finish, which have made the name of Dow pre-eminent, even among the patient and pains-taking masters of the Dutch school. The subject represents a simple scene of domestic life. treated in a pleading and graceful manner, and did we not know that the picture was painted in the seventeenth century, it might pass for a scene of the present time; so little have costume and manners changed in the provincial towns of Holland Tins mistake would however soon be corrected by a closer examination of the painting, for few artists of the present day, either in Holland or elsewhere display the unwearied attention to the details of their pictures, which characterizes the works of Dow. It is to be regretted that much of the beauty arising from this exquisite finish, which Indeed is the most remarkable quality in the paintings of this master, is necessarily lost in the process of engraving, and that however carefully a plate may be executed, it still gives but an imperfect idea of the wonderful delicacy of the original.
