What reading level is Reynolds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Tom Taylor notes another half- length painted in the spring of the following year in hardly less glowing terms ; it is of Mrs. Moles- worth — " a young and lovely brunette, in one of the quaint every-day dresses of the time, closely copied, without the least attempt at ' idealising ' or ' generalising,' with flowers in her hand, a little cap on her head, a prim apron, and a lawn kerchief closely covering her shoulders. It is one of the most attractive of his female portraits, and especially val...uable for its literalness." That his very earliest works should receive, and indeed deserve, such commendation requires empha- sising in order to restore to him a good deal of the credit for the revival of portraiture in England which nowadays is given to his only successful rivals, Gainsborough and Romney. The fascination 38 Sir Joshua Reynolds that Gainsborough's natural genius throws over his admirers — and Reynolds himself was not entirely- unaffected by it — is apt to blind them to the more solid merit of the other, and the fact that Reynolds had achieved so much before Gainsborough had really started painting portraits is apt to be over- looked.
