203. Frans Hals: **Portrait of W. van Heythuysen. One of his finest works. Broadly executed, and full of dash and bravado.
496. Excellent still life by Jan Weenix.
522. De Witte: Fine architectural church interior.
222. Above it, *peacock and other birds by Hondecoeter, who painted almost exclusively similar subjects. The solitary feather in the foreground recalls his famous masterpiece at the Hague.
On each side of this, tolerable portraits by Van der Helst.
36. Fruit and still life by Van Beyeren.
444. *One of Jan Steen’s most characteristic pieces of Batavian humour. A Dutch lover offering affection’s gift, in the shape of a herring and two leeks, to a lady no longer in her first youth. Behind, her unconscious husband. The painting of every detail is full of the best Dutch merits, and the tone of the whole frankly repulsive.
Right wall.
221. Hobbema: *The Wood at Haarlem. Characteristic Dutch landscape.
202. Frans Hals: **Splendid portrait of Professor Hoornebeck of Leyden. Extremely vivacious and rapidly handled.
