picture by Murillo of a Moorish prince, which also
came into his possession, and was formerly brought
from Spain by Monsieur Le Brun.
A beautiful portrait by Velasquez was lately
sold at Fonthill, and was acquired by its former
possessor, Mr. Beckford, who again became the
purchaser of many of the most select pictures of
that collection.
Mr. Gordon of Edinburgh possesses another
capital portrait by this master, in his small but
choice collection of the works of the great masters.
