&
*
Painter of peasant and farmyard scenes, animals, and landscapes, and
etcher: Dutch School: b. 1606,d. 1681: much influenced by Teniers and
Brouwer: worked at Rotterdam.
397. Life study from the nude: a young man seated.
Black chalk heightened with white on grey paper.
Signed with the monogram of the artist and the date 1658. Saftleven
belonged to a Rotterdam family of artists outside the range of Rem-
brandt’s influence, and this drawing is only placed here for the sake of
convenience (M. 829).

Painter and draughtsman: b. 1623, d. after 1680: worked at Amsterdam :
imitator of Rembrandt.
398. A Horse-Ferry.
Black chalk with sepia and indian ink wash.
Doomer, scarcely known as a painter, was a very vigorous and prolific
draughtsman, chiefly of topography. He was a considerable traveller,
and has left many studies of French and Italian as well as Dutch
scenery, boldly treated with a mixture of sepia wash, pen, and black
chalk, in a manner partly inspired by Rembrandt (M. 684).
The next eight numbers are all by Jan Livens, who was a contemporary of
Rembrandt, _his fellow-pupil under Lastman, and whose work alike as painter
and etcher betrays in many points his influence. The drawings of Livens are
■ , numerous, and fall into two distinct classes: one of landscape (almost always
• woodland) studies very freely and expressively drawn with the pen or brush in
sepia; and the other of portraits, for the most part powerfully drawn and care-
fully finished in black chalk or black lead pencil. Both classes are well
pMaKil represented in the following selection: the British Museum in particular
affording a richer choice of portrait drawings by the master than any other
nt collection, public or private.
Jan LIVENS.
Painter and etcher: b. 1607, d. 1674 : worked at Amsterdam, Leyden, the
Hague, and in England: pupil of Van Schooten and Lastman, following
partly the manner of Van Dyck and partly that of Rembrandt.
399. A Forest scene.
Pen and bistre.
From the Leembruggen collection.
(M. 730).
400. A Forest scene, with palings and cottages.
Pen and bistre.
(B.M.).
401. Portrait of the painter Jan de Heem.
Black lead pencil.
Jan de Heem, b. Utrecht 1606, d. Antwerp about 1684, was the son of David
de Heem, and like his father, but with more success, devoted himself to
the profession of a painter of still life (M. 731).
