SHARPE, LOUISA,

Is an Englishwoman by birth, and celebrated for her talents as an artist. She can create as well as imitate, and in her original paintings there is a high tone of moral as well as poetical feeling. Her works are exquisitely graceful and feminine, and she evinces real genius. Her sister, Eliza Sharpe, shows an almost equal talent as an artist, and her paintings are much in the same style. There is also another sister who has given evidences of genius in the same art. One of the sisters has married a German gentleman—Mr. Seyfarth, of Dresden.
