ENRAGED MUSICIAN.

Cervetto, well known by the name of "Nosee," has been generally supposed to be intended by the character of the musician; but there are others who apply it to Dr. Arne; for though not a strict likeness of that great composer, the figure and face bear so near a resemblance (and he was extremely remarkable) as fully to authorize the application. The known irritability of the Doctor in musical business might not have been the only cause of Hogarth's placing him in this ludicrous situation; his habits of intrigue, and singularly plain person, made him so fair an object for caricature, that one of his portraits, printed with a song of his composing, has ironically written under it, "Beauty and Virtue." This song, with the portrait, was eagerly purchased up, and is now very scarce. Some years since Mr. Colman got up a little interlude at the Haymarket Theatre from the idea of this print, called "Ut Pictura Poesis, or the Enraged Musician," when the character of the musician was purposely given to a performer who was thought in figure and face to resemble Dr. Arne.
