The sainted King starts from a canopied couch to gaze upon the apparition of Pope Gregory IV., who appears before him, cloud-borne, and surrounded by angels. In the background is a sentinel. This little picture is noble in style and harmonious in color. The action of the figures is remarkably free and vigorous.
A Lace-Worker. Peter De Hooghe.
A young woman sits by an open window, with her hands resting upon the cushion on which is her work. The light falls in a broad mass upon one side of her face and figure, while the other is in the half-shadow of reflected light. This little sketch, so unobtrusive in subject and treatment, will impress the close observer with a sense of great power and thorough knowledge—knowledge which is content to know without seeming learned.
Miniature Portrait. Balthazar Denner.
An old man, wearing a cap, and a breastplate over a rich doublet. This head is painted with an elaborateness of detail worthy of Gerard Douw, while at the same time it is modelled with a free and learned hand.
(Collection of General Count Turenne.)
