To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, whose portraits are our most familiar examples of Van Dyck, and who thuslives in the imagination of most people as the very personification of anoble and handsome cavalier, there have not been wanting critics whohave maintained that Charles, --the son of a plain uncouth father, and ofa mother rather floridly buxom than delicately handsome, and who was inhis childhood a sickly rickety child, --was by no means so well endowedin the matter of manly beauty as we have supposed. These students of o...ldgossip and close investigation, have alleged that Charles was long andlanky, after he had ceased to be Baby Charles; that his nose was toolarge, and, alas! apt to redden; that his eyes were vacillating; and hismouth, the loosely hung mouth of a man who begins by being irresolute, and ends by being obstinate. [45] Again, in the hands of a sitter, whichVan Dyck was supposed to paint with special care and elegance, it hasbeen argued that he copied always the same hand, probably his own, inignorance, or in defiance of the fact that hands have nearly as much andas varying character as a painter can discover in faces.
