Those who are conversant in painting well know, that the large picture of this subject is one of the most capital works of Raphael, in the Escurial, at Madrid; and it is no less evident, that this before us has either been done as a finished study for the above, or that it was painted for the print engraved by Marc Antonio, which is of the same size. Every body knows with what pains Raphael cultivated this art in the ingenious engraver; and the rather sic that it was to transmit the purity of his works to succeeding ages. Hence it is not surprising, that we find in this small picture that divine enthusiasm which ever accompanied the pencil of this painter (Raffaeli)|The Virgin with the Child, on one side is Tobit presented by an Angel, on the other is St. Jerome -- This picture, which is evidently characterized by the hand of its devine author, was the property of the Duke de Moailes, and was sold about three years ago, amongst the first part of the collection belonging to that nobleman; the remainder was purchased by a gentleman of this country, whose taste for painting, and love for the polite arts, are equally well established.
