Sketches of pictures in the Royal Academy Exhibition: Cinderella, J. E. Millais, R.A., 1881. One page of this Number of our Journal is occupied by Sketches of the designs and composition of a few of the Pictures in the present Exhibition of the Royal Academy...The first is "Cinderella," that charmingly true and natural representation of the simple heroine of tire wonderful fairy tale, which the foremost of living English artists has painted for the Proprietor of the Illustrated London News. Its merits as a work of art have been generally appreciated, and such is the reputation of Mr. Millais that no one has had any notion of his being overpaid with three thousand guineas, the price which was agreed to by the owner of this picture on giving the commission for its execution. Our readers will look forward to the Christmas of 1882, when they may expect the pleasure of getting "Cinderella," finely printed in colours, as a Special Supplement to the Christmas Number. We feel quite sure, that the estimation in which the picture is held by all who see it will not have diminished at the end of next year'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
