Bust, turned to the left, eyes looking at the spectator. He is in a green uniform with red facing; and on his breast three stars and a green ribbon across from his right shoulder to his left. His hair is curled and powdered. On canvas, 2 ft. 4 in. high, by 1 ft. 10½ in. wide.
Behind the picture is inscribed:—“Kopal T. Ep. K. E. (?) 1799” and “Catalogue No. 545, Emperor Paul of Russia..”
This portrait represents the emperor in the forty-fifth year of his age, three years after his accession, and two years before his assassination.
66 Louis XIV., when young (396). . . . . Mignard?
Three-quarters length, facing in front. His left hand hangs by his side, right is on his hip. He is clad in armour, over which is a purplish robe, lined with yellow. He has a long brown wig. On canvas, 5 ft. high, by 3 ft. 7 in. wide.
If this is really by Mignard, it must, on account of the age of the king, be one of the first pictures he painted in 1658, on his introduction to the French Court.
67 Stanislaus, King of Poland (895). . . . . Lampi.
Bust, turned slightly to the left. He is dressed in a purple velvet coat, across which is a light blue sash, and on the left side of his breast a star. He wears a small wig and pigtail; his face is shaven. On canvas, 2 ft. 4 in. high, by 1 ft 10½ in. wide.
Behind in ink is written:—“Cavalieri Lampi de Vienna.”
In an old inventory, dated 1819, is this entry:—“Half-length portrait of the King of Poland, purple velvet coat, etc., painted by Lampi, member of the Academy of Vienna. Bought of Colnaghi for £21.”
