[page 91, column 2, continued:]

WE FIND the following in “The Sun,” but do not exactly comprehend it.

Mr. Sully, the well known and justly distinguished artist of Philadelphia, has just finished a truly admirable full length and life-size portrait of Gen. Jackson. It is from an original by Mr. S. and the dress is the United States’ uniform, over which is thrown in easy and graceful style, a military cloak. The effort is of the highest order of art, and may well be regarded as one of Sully's best. The likeness, the coloring, the general effect, are all admirable.

Is the picture an original “from an original” by Mr. S? Or is the picture by the “justly distinguished Mr. Sully” at all? We had supposed it the work of the younger Sully — but do not pretend to know.

This review was not mentioned by W. D. Hull, but was included as by Poe by Pollin.
