Both the horns in the individual now before me have the appearance of having been sawn off, an appearance admirably represented in the masterly figure of the animal published at p.233 of the 'Field' newspaper, a faithful representation of nature which does the artist infinite credit. In this and many other figures by tile same artist, there is a total absence of that sensational exaggeration which often converts a portrait into a caricature.
