THE TENNYSON PORTRAITS.
159
Exhibition of 1862. An engraving from it, by James Stephenson, 1512 by 1134 inches, was published by Colnaghi, of Pall Mall.
*** The most wonderful, perhaps, of all the portraits, and reminding us of Tennyson'a own lines in "Elaine":
"As when a painter poring on a face,
Divinely, thro' all hindrance, finds the man
Behind it, and so paints him that his face,
The shape and colour of a mind and life,
Lives for his children, ever at its best
And fullest."
Divinely, thro' all hindrance, finds the man
Behind it, and so paints him that his face,
The shape and colour of a mind and life,
Lives for his children, ever at its best
And fullest."
Mr. Watts's second portrait of Tennyson, with a background of laurel, was exhibited at Gambart's Gallery in 1867.
