Exhibition of Drawings and Sketches.

Cornelis DU SAET.
Painter of peasant life and drolleries, and engraver: Dutch School:
b. 1660, d. 1704: pupil of A. van Ostade: worked at Haarlem.
440. A Tavern Scene, with card-players, &c.
Highly finished in water-colours.

OP. 834).
^41. Village Scene : a group about a door of a cottage.
Highly finished in water-colours.
From the Esdaile collection.
Signed Corn Dusart fe 1690. Both the above are quite characteristic
examples of the master, whose work is little more than an imitation-
diluted in all points save coarseness of feeling—of that of his more
distinguished fellow-countryman Adriaan van Ostade (M. 833).

Hendrick Maertens SOEGH (Eokes).
Painter, chiefly of peasant life: Dutch School: b. 1611, d. 1670: pupil of
W. Buytenweg: worked under the influence of A. Brouwer, chiefly at
Rotterdam, also at Antwerp.
442. Interior of a barber’s shop.
Vigorously sketched in water-colours with sepia outlines.
From the Thane and Lawrence collections.
Sorgh, half Dutchman and half Fleming, was in the main an imitator of
Teniers and Brouwer: working, however, with a certain independence of
manner, and generally in a warmish golden tone easily to be recognised
(M. 891).

Quitting now the familiar painters of peasant life, we come first to a group of
architectural drawings by three distinguished masters in that special branch,
and next to one of marine subjects: all of especial excellence in their respective
styles.
Pieter Jansz SAENEEDAM.
Architectural painter and etcher: Dutch School: b. 1597, d. 1665: pupil
of F. P. de Grebber: worked at Haarlem.
443. Interior of a Chapel at Alkmaar.
Pen and ink outlines and water-colour wash.
Inscribed in the artist’s handwriting i Anno 1661 den 31 May, heb ich
Pr Saenredam, deese teekening in de Capel binnen Alckmaer begonnen en
den Juni voldaen’, i.e. ‘I, Peter Saenredam began this drawing in the
chapel within Alkmaar on the 31st of May, 1661, and finished it on the
1st of June ’ (B M.).
444. Chancel of St. Jans Keerke at ’s Hertogenbusch (Bois-
le-Duc).
Pen and ink with water-colour wash.
Inscribed in the artist’s handwriting, “de St. Jans, oft grote, Kerch in ’s
Hertogen bosch, im Brabant, van my Pr Saenredam 1632 den 1 July
aldur naer V leeben geteekent’, i.e. ‘St. John’s, otherwise the Great
Church, at Bois-le-Duc in Brabant, drawn from life on the spot by me
Peter Saenredam on the 1st of July, 1632 ’ (M. 825),
