Overview

Excerpt from Notes on Some of the Principal Pictures: Exhibited in the Rooms of the Royal Academy, the Old and New Societies of Painters in Water Colours, the Society of British Artists, and the French Exhibition It must be a great delight to Mr. Leslie to see his son do such good work as this. There is not a prettier little piece of painting on the walls, and very few half so pretty. All the accessories, too, are at once quaint and graceful: showing an enjoyment of ele gance in form (even down to the design of the frame of the picture, and the bars of the chair, ) which is very rare among the young painters of the rising school. This grace of fancy is shown no less in the little Chinese subject by the same artist which, however, is not quite so thoroughly painted. I shall look anxiously for Mr. Leslie's work next year, for he seems to have truly the power of composition, and that is the gift of gifts if it be rightly used. He colours very well already.
