What reading level is Anecdote Biography volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the death of his widow, the jMarchioness of Thomond, in 1821, her pictures, containing a larger number of EejTiolds's works than had been before offered, were sold at Christie's ; and there was a second sale of drawings, sketch-books, oil sketches, and unfinished pictures, by Sir Joshua. Three previous sales of his pictures by ancient masters, his own subjects and un- claimed portraits, and drawings and prints — in 1794, 1796, and 1798, produced nearly 17, 000^. Allan Cunningham tells us ...that Sir Joshua's study was octagonal, some 20 feet long, 16 broad, and about 15 feet high. The window was small and square, and the sill 9 feet from the floor. His sitter's chair moved on castors, and stood above the floor a foot and a-half. He held his palettes by handles, and the sticks of his brushes were 18 inches long. He wrought standing, and with great celerity; he rose early, breakfasted at 9, entered his study at 10, examined designs, or touched unfinished portraits till 11 brought a sitter, painted till 4, then dressed, and gave the evening to company.
