220. *One of Hobbema’s most famous mills.
Above this, 19, Storm at Sea, by Backhuysen.
368. Excellent **portrait by Rembrandt.
216. Portrait by Van der Helst. Not in his best manner.
445. A very characteristic and excellent Jan Steen, known as *The Rhetoricians—that is to say, members of a Literary Club or Debating Society, one of whom is engaged in reading his prize verses to a not too appreciative audience outside. Even here, however, Jan cannot omit his favourite touch of coarse Dutch love-making, with a tavern-girl introduced out of pure perversity.
357. Paul Potter: *Pigs. Admirably piggy.
End wall.
223. More of Hondecoeter’s unimpeachable *poultry.
48. Bol: *Portrait of a Mathematician and Anatomist. One of the painter’s masterpieces.
367. **Splendid portrait by Rembrandt (“L’Homme au grand chapeau”). An excellent and characteristic example of his art. The light and shade, the painting of the hair, and the masterly handling of the robe are all in the great painter’s noblest manner.
