Art In Its Perfection Is Not Ostentatious;

Common Observation And A Plain Understanding Is The Source Of All Art.

In Portraits, The Grace And, We May Add, The Likeness Consists More In Taking The General Air Than In Observing The Exact Similitude Of Every Feature.

The Great Use Of Copying, If It Be At All Useful, Should Seem To Be In Learning Color; Yet Even Coloring Will Never Be Perfectly Attained By Servilely Copying The Model Before You.

There Can Be No Doubt But That He Who Has The Most Materials Has The Greatest Means Of Invention.

Certainly, Nothing Can Be More Simple Than Monotony.
