INTRODUCTION
PREFIXED TO THE CATALOGUE.

If ever an assemblage of pictures were brought
before the public, indisputably genuine, valuable
for variety and merit, and of unsullied purity, it is
the selection enumerated in this catalogue.
They were collected by the Greffiers Fagel,
during a period of more than a century, under the
combined advantages of their acknowledged taste
and judgment; were purchased by them, in Hol-
land and Flanders, countries abounding in rich
works of art; and admired equally by the intelli-
gent and unlearned, they stood celebrated at the
Hague as a selection of the first importance.
