Sir Humphry Davy,' Bart. Engraved by ROBERT NEWTON, from a

Picture by Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE.

Sensitiveness mixed with feebleness and an almost morbid excitement are expressed in this face, especially in the eyes, which render the coun- tenance remarkable. The truth and reality with which LAWRENCE painted the eyes of his portraits, constituted more than his extrinsic qualities of style, &c. the charm and fascination of his pictures. The line engraving is well executed, though in a dry manner, without any attempt at brilliancy.
