57SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS, P.R.A.: 1723-1792 Eiifrlish SchoolPORTRAIT OF THE REV. LAURENCE STERNE H e is seated, wearing a wig and gown ; his right elbow is on thetable by his side ; his right forefinger to his forehead ; his leftarm is bent, and he has a ring on the little finger ; his left hand restson his hip ; knee-breeches. On the table to the left are an inkstand,some papers which are inscribed y. Reynolds^ 1760, and some MS.marked rristram Shandy. Life-size, nearly full-length. It was purchased for 500 guineas by the Marquis of Lansdowne.Mrs. Jameson justly observes: This is the most astonishing head for truthof character I ever beheld. I do not except Titian ; the character, to be sure,is different, the subtle, evanescent expression of satire round the lips, theshrewd significance of the eye, the earnest, contemplative attitude, all conveythe strongest impressions of the man, of his peculiar genius and peculiarhumour. ^—W. Cotton : Sir Joshua ReynAds and his Works^ 1856, p. 92.
