During the trial in court of a case involving the originality of
a picture, an eminent counsel put this question to Gainsborough:
“I observe you lay great stress on the phrase, ‘the painter’s
eye’; what do you mean by that?” “The painter’s eye,” replied
the artist in a smart repartee, “is to him what the lawyer’s
tongue is to you.”
