PLATE I.—THE HORSLEY CHILDREN. From the picture
in the possession of Messrs. Thos. Agnew & Sons. (Frontispiece)
Few painters have rivalled Romney in expressing the simplicity and naïveté of children. These portraits of Master George and Miss Charlotte Horsley are excellent examples of his mastery of an artless pose, and of the reticence of his colour. How delightfully the flowers tell against the white dresses.
