May and December,

FROM THE ADMIRABLE PICTURE

BY MR. J. L. BRODIE,

Engraved in Mezzotint, highly finished,

BY MR. W. H. SIMMONS.

MAY AND DECEMBER. Engraved by W. H. Simmons, from a Painting by J. Lamont Brodie.--Fores & Co.

The visitors to the Royal Academy Exhibition of the past year, such at least of them as have an eye for the pleasing, the merry, and the bright--the admirers of Allegro, rather than her more solemn sister-nymph Penseroso--must have noticed, and having noticed, been attracted, by the clever painting of Mr. Brodie, bearing the title of "May and December." The original picture, which can throw sunshine but on one apartment, is now multiplied; and numerous cheerful rays may beam from the walls of humbler persons of taste, less fortunate than the possessor of the artist's first conception. Mr. Simmons has well performed his task of transferring from the canvas to the plate, the spirit, the mind, the _vis comica_ of the original, while the depth of the middle-tinting and the chalklike softness of the flesh are evidences of his skilful care in the mechanical details. The subject, we may observe, for the information of those who did not visit the Exhibition, is a fine ripe laughing lass, a long way in her "teens," if not just coming out of them; her face, which "smiles all over," is turned full towards the spectator, and her half-delighted, half-mischievous eyes, are glittering with a mixture of gratified vanity, and a sense of the ludicrous absurdity of the situation of herself and her aged _innamorato_. The latter is indeed "December" personified. Imagine a beetle-browed, heavy-featured sexagenarian, or perchance approximating the three-score-and-ten of man's pilgrimage, bending, with the devotion of an idol-worshipper, over one of the plump hands of his earthly divinity, which he holds in his gnarled and knotted fingers, and presses to his sensual lips, exposing over his artistically foreshortened face a polished cranium, denuded of its hirsute covering, except at the sides, where two fiercely brushed tufts of white hair still stand upright in admirable agreement with the organic development of obstinacy in its general bony contour. The accessories of the picture are also suggestive: on the left, where the mischievous maiden is seated, are a modern flower-vase, a guitar, &c., and in the chimney glass is reflected the portrait of a moustached _militaire_ (doubtless a suitor for the fair hand here in the cold grasp of winter), which looks down on the group with an expression of appealing regret. On the right of the old man is a tankard of elegant chasing, a pen, and inkstand, and the like emblems. As a composition the picture is excellent, and as a piece of _genre_ painting, and highly-finished engraving, "May and December" is a most agreeable and talented work.--_Morning Advertiser._
