2. Foreign Schools:
Un buveur attablé (Drinker at table) (No. 427), attributed by the catalogue to the Flemish School of the middle of the 17th century, would seem from its powerful realism and general composition, to have come from the studio of the Brothers Le Nain.
Gérard de Lairesse, late 18th century, Dutch painter, now forgotten, but who enjoyed considerable notoriety in his day: Portrait of Duchesse Marie de Clèves (1671) (No. 206).
