JOHN LEWIS has produced a striking whole.length portrait of Du-

VERNAY, in her Spanish costume, for which she sat—or rather stood— to him. It has the somewhat rare merit of being a characteristic re- semblance of a real woman—a creature of flesh and blood, not a shadowy nonentity of muslin and millinery. We wish the danseuse had been represented in graceful action, instead of "standing at ease ;" and we could desire a little improvement in the drawing of the feet ; hut altogether this is a very attractive print, and beautiful as a work of art. It is drawn on the stone by LEWIS himself, in the new style of lithography, with a tint ; and the effect is extremely rich and forcible.
