CLOTH PICTURES.
AN exhibition, of a very novel and ingenious kind, is just opened at 15, Soho Square, consisting of a small collection of copies of pictures, worked in scraps and shreds of coloured cloth of various shades. They rival, in pictorial effect, those of Miss La:n.0°1)1 from which they differ
the mode of their production,—the present being entirely of cloth, without any stitches being visible ; while those of Miss Lmiwoon, as is well known, are of worsted in needle-work. The completeness and beauty of the imitations are really wonderful, when the material is con- sidered; and render them perfectly unique. Among the most striking and pleasing, are a landscape from GAINSBOROVGII ; and two pictures by young TENizas, of a Flemish Soldier and Sailor, in which the finish of the master is most surprisingly imitated. The transparency of the water in a view of Wemyss Castle, with the objects reflected in it, and the tints of the sky, are very successfully preserved. An unfinished sketch is placed in the room, to show the mode in which the pictures are executed. They are the work of a lady, and are deserving of a visit from the curious.
