Vandcrvelde ;  so  fresh  a  one,  that  it
has  blown  away  much  of  the  subject ;
it  is,  consequently,  rather  faint.
No.  161,  '*  The  Virgin  and  Child
with  St  John,  encircled  by  fruit  and
flowers,"  G.  Seghers  and  C.  Schut
•»is  well  painted;  figures  in  imita-
tion of  Rubens ;  they  are  on  too
dingy  a  ground.
No.  162.  "  Full  length  of  a  Child
with  a  toy  in  a  Garden  Scene."
Rubens. — Not  very  agreeable,  but
well  painted,  only  in  parts,  in  the
usual  manner  of  Rubens.
No.  163.  «* Dutch  Boors"— great
bores,  even  though  by  the  hand  of
Teniers,  to  whom  this  is  ascribed.
No.  164,  **  Landscape,"  Francesco
Mile — is  a  very  pretty  picture ;  his
colouring  is,  in  general,  too  warm  ;
he  wants  fresh  cool  greens ;  he  aitns
at  too  great  richness,  and  forces  his
composition  as  he  does  his  colouring :
it  is  a  little  overdone.  We  recognize
the  art.
No.  165.  "  Scene  on  the  Coast  of
Holland,  with  Boats  and  Figures.*'
Vander  Capella.— He  is  in  general  a
yery  sweet  painter  with  a  clean  pen-
cil. He  delights  in  cool  greys  in  his
skies  and  water.  The  water  in  this
picture  is  not  very  clear ;  it  has  pro-
bably met  with  some  injury.
No.  166.  «  Cicero  at  his  Villa."
Wilson. — This  always  struck  us  as
very  poor — very  affected  ;  it  is  bad  in
composition  and  effect,  and  was,  doubt-
less, very  unlike  Cicero's  delightful
retreat

No.  167,  "  Portrait  of  Mrs  Robin-
son," Sir  Joshua  Reynolds  —  is
good,  but  not  one  of  Sir  Joshua's
best.  Is  the  drawing  of  the  neck
correct? — the  jelly- bag  curtain  is  not
agreeable.
