Inscription: SIR EDWIN LANDSEER. R.A. DEL.T //
Stamp: WITT / LIBRARY //
Label: LADA AND LASSIE. / LAD and Lassie" is a well-finished work in coloured chalks, and belongs, / as may be seen, to 1851 - a year almost entirely given up to Highland / pieces. And so a writer in the Art Journal has supposed this little / boy and girl to be children of one of the royal tenants at Balmoral; for / the original is in the possession of Her Majesty the Queen. / Perhaps no writer has more clearly pointed out how much an artist's portrait is the / result of study and composition than has Oliver Wendell Holmes in his "Professor at / the Breakfast Table;" he contrasts such a portrait with a photograph in a very / clever manner. But here it is to be noticed that Landseer, true to himself, has rather sought to represent the children by a single expression than by a study of / several expressions - by a certain childlike naturalness and ease. / Landseer has no great reputation as a portrait painter, yet from 1823 to 1867 / scarecly a year passed without one or more being added to the number of his works of / this kind. In all there are upwards of one hundred and twenty portraits by him in / existence, from that of C. Simmons, Esq., produced in 1813, at the age of eleven / years, to that of H.M. the Queen in 1873, the year of his death. //
