To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Too often the fundamentals are neglected in his work. He seems to have made it a practice of concentrating all his knowledge on the head and doing the rest of the picture carelessly. He not infrequently placed his heads too low on the canvas. Often his portraits have impossibly low- down shoulders, little short arms and dwarfed torsos, the body, that is, being much too small in relation to the head. Whether Stuart did this on purpose or not must remain uncertain, but it is bad drawing, and ther...efore poor work. Just as in the case of many other portrait painters, how- ever, the blame for his errors doubtless rests largely with the sitters. Some of them surely would not give Stuart sufficient sittings ; sitters sometimes think three or four sit- «9 tings should be enough, although good portraits sometimes require fifty or more. Then again they probably wanted to be made what they considered good-looking and Stuart wanted the cash, and so the matter was adjusted by a pretty but inaccurate picture.
