Richard Redgrave]]> Cleopatra]]> "We give an illustration this week of the very fine and impressive figure of the dying Cleopatra, by Mr. G. A. Lawson, which was exhibited in the octagon hall of the Royal Academy two or three years ago. It is at present in the Edinburgh Exhibition, where the photograph was taken from which the present illustration is reproduced." "Sculpture: 'Cleopatra." The Builder 51 (October 23, 1886): 588

]]> The Builder 51 (October 23, 1886): plate following p. 590: "Sculpture at the Edinburgh Exhibition. 'Cleopatra' by Mr. G. A. Lawson."]]> The Arts of Peace]]> "We should add that the title, 'The Arts of Peace,' is not that intended by the painter, whose title for his picture is 'Industrial Art applied to Peace,” in contradistinction to the other fresco, “Industrial Art applied to War.' This is more intelligible than 'The Arts of Peace,' which is a very unmeaning title; though we may observe that 'art applied to peace' is not quite a parallel expression with 'applied to war,' since 'war' implies an action or series of actions in a sense in which “peace” does not: swords and spears are useful in the prosecution of war, but we cannot say textiles and bronzes are useful in the prosecution of peace. We should, however, have given Sir F. Leighton’s own title had we received his disclaimer of the other in time; but we received an invitation card to the private view with the title, 'The Arts of Peace,' in very large capitals; and if the South Kensington authorities cannot give the right name to their own picture it is no fault of ours."

"The figure is represented in repose, and is particularly graceful and easy; she holds a tambourine in the left hand, and in the right hand, which rests on the stem of a tree, she holds a garland. This statue should be compared with Canova's conception of the same subject, No. 137. With equal elegance, the one before us has far more of nature, simplicity, and quietude. She is resting, while Canova's dancer is only pausing. This statue was executed in marble, for the London Art Union, and exhibited in 1848. It has been reproduced, of a small size, in Parian, and forms an exquisite ornamental statuette. Classical style."]]> "W. C. Marshall," in Artists at Home: "'The Dancing Girl reposing' obtained an Art Union premium of £500, and large numbers of reductions of the statue were distributed among subscribers to that society."
