A Painter who has any thing unseemly, or disproportionate in the make of his own Person, will be extremely lyable to bestow the same blemish on his Figures: This is particularly observable in the Hands, as being continually before our Eyes. A Painter therefore must apply himself, to correct any false Impression, which an Object always present to him, may make on his Imagination; and to guard against that ridiculous Piece of self Love, of fancying every thing Beautiful that resembles himself.
