Our portraits of Mr. G. F. Watts depict him at most interesting ages.
The first was painted at seventeen by Mr. Watts himself, at which age
his first picture was exhibited at the Royal Academy. At twenty-one, he
had painted his first great historical picture; while at forty-seven,
the age of our third portrait, he had just received the title of R.A.
