Caption

Royal Academy Exhibition - "The Infant Academy", Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1850. London exhibition of painting. 'Sir Joshua Reynolds, the first President of the Royal Academy, [is] still the most eminent painter that England has as yet produced. The picture...was bequeathed by Sir Joshua to his friend Lord Palmerston...The picture is an admirable example of Sir Joshua's pencil. The grouping is good, the colour warm and harmonious, and the infantine character throughout such as Sir Joshua alone has succeeded in catching. It would sell,we believe, were it brought this week under the hammer of Messrs. Christie and Manson, for something like two thousand guineas'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
