Excerpt from The Gallery of British Engravings: Consisting of Twenty-Two Splendid Steel Engravings, From the Works of the Most Eminent Painters, With Descriptive Letterpress
TO the historical painter the poetical and natural descriptions of our immortal bard offer an almost infinite variety of subjects for his pencil. From this great poet, Mr. Wright, a talented artist of the present day, has chosen a well-known and highly interesting subject, in the design and execution of which he has displayed great taste. The simplicity of the composition is quite in the Stothard school, and the merit of the design 1s enhanced by the correct drawing of the figures, and the rich depth of cqlour in the draperies.
