Artist is, undoubtedly, to be found in an account of some of his principal Works; for in those are usually displayed the qualities of his mind, the nature of his studies, and the depth of his knowledge; and when the subjects are chosen by himself, they are fair transcripts of his thoughts and affections, and present as true a reflex of his heart and mind, as a clear mirror would of the features of his face: and never was this more strongly exemplified than in the present instance; for in the works of Mr. Flaxman wherever are found the representations of Wisdom, Magnanimity, Piety, or any of the Christian Virtues and Charities that exalt human nature, they were his own.
