Excerpt from The Art of Figure Drawing: Containing Practical Instructions for a Course of Study in This Branch of Art
There have been many works published on Landscape Painting containing the results of the experience of the best masters in this delightful branch of Art, and many also on Figure Drawing, but the latter for the most part on too extensive a scale, and in too expensive a form, to be generally available. A requirement, which has long been felt, is now being supplied; and there is already published, at a moderate price, a series of valuable Elementary Works on Landscape Painting and Perspective, by Mr. Penley and the Messrs. Rowbotham, which may be perused with great advantage by the Artist as well as the Amateur.
