Omai. From an engraving by Bartolozzi, after a drawing by Nathaniel Dance. ' c ' ANCIENT BARD 77 Sir Joshua Reynolds gives a different picture of Omai.^ He was impressed by the dignity of the young savage, and therefore posed him in a heroic attitude against a fanciful Otaheitan land- scape, which is perhaps the first attempt in the history of English art to depict the scenery of Tahiti. He wears the flowing robes and also a turban. Every trace of barbarousness, except the bare feet, is careful...ly omitted by Reynolds, who has succeeded in lending to the Polynesian savage the poise and regal aloofness of an Arab. Nothing could reveal more adequately the traits which were sought for in the gentle savage. Yet Reynolds's picture is true to one side of Omai, for all the testimony with regard to him — and we have a great deal — constantly emphasizes his courtesy and self-restraint under the strange and difficult conditions into which he had been thrust. Boswell uses the word elegance to describe his be- haviour, and savs that Johnson accounted for it on the ground that Omai had passed his time, while in England, only in the best company.
