About a Picture and Alesso Baldovinetti by an Artist. — A little
pamphlet with this title has reached us. It contains but six pages of print, and no publisher's name is given ; but the question raised by the author is an interesting one. There exists in the National Gallery a remarkably beautiful picture of Tobias and the Angel. The authorship of the painting has been successively assigned to many artiste, and of late the authorities have taken refuge in the vague ascription of " Tuscan School." The writer of the pamphlet brings arguments. to bear in favour of the picture being by Alesso Baldovinetti. There is a great deal to be said in favour of the attribution, and we should like to see a photograph of the picture in question, together with a series of reproductions of authentic pictures by this rather rare master.
