Ercole Roberti de' Grandi (Ferrarese: 1450-1496). See 1127.
On the left the Adoration of the Shepherds. There is much natural charm in the figure of the Virgin bending over the manger. On the right the dead figure of Christ, with St. Jerome and St. Francis in the middle distance receiving the stigmata. Very delicately finished.
1412. VIRGIN AND CHILD, WITH ST. JOHN.
Filippino Lippi (Florentine: 1457-1504). See 293.

Formerly ascribed to Botticelli.[250] Notice the beautifully painted white eglantine and jasmine blossoms in the vase on the balcony. The youthful St. John is an attractive figure, very characteristic of this group of painters.
1415. PORTRAIT OF A LADY.
Gerard Dou (Dutch; 1613-1675). See 192.
"An old inscription on the back of the panel states that this picture is a portrait of Anna Maria van Schurmann; but it will be observed that the portrait by Jan Lievens (1095), supposed to represent the same lady, differs in the colour of the hair, and has other points of variation, which preclude the possibility of both having been painted from the same person" (Official Catalogue).
