Exhibition of 1862. An engraving from it, by James Stephenson, 15⁠1/2⁠ by 11⁠3/4⁠ inches, was published by Colnaghi, of Pall Mall.

*** The most wonderful, perhaps, of all the portraits, and reminding us of Tennyson'a own lines in "Elaine":

"As when a painter poring on a face, Divinely, thro' all hindrance, finds the man Behind it, and so paints him that his face, The shape and colour of a mind and life, Lives for his children, ever at its best And fullest."

Mr. Watts's second portrait of Tennyson, with a background of laurel, was exhibited at Gambart's Gallery in 1867.
