The Right of Aesthetic Realism to Be Known

"The world is down and up, and much of art is given to showing how the world as both down and up is worthy of our like. An engaging example of the world likable because it is down and up at once is on page 271 of Miss Gardner's work: 'Equestrian Portrait of a Prince and His Servant.' This study in down and up is of Persia. The prince does not seem excessively exalted because he is riding and flying on a black, delicate horse."
