THE CRAWFORD COLLECTION.
185
L. S. D.
21. Ditto.—Portrait of a Princess of Bavaria. A sur-
prising effect of light enlivens this portrait, which is
painted with great force and richness of colour.
Lord Ennesmore 73 10 0
22. Is. Ostade.—View of a Village and River. A
winter scene, with figures skaiting. A charming
picture. A white horse with a sledge and figures
descending to the ice, on the left hand, is perfect
nature. The whole is painted in a warm tone. It
may be considered one of the most interesting and
agreeable performances of the master.
Roachley 199 10 0
23. J. Steen.—Le Roi Boit. A domestic scene of mirth
and noise; recommended by diversity and strength
of character and infinite humour. The execution is
in his most vigorous style. Truly capital.
Jackson, Chelsea 43 1 0
24. G. Metzu.—A Woman selling Fish and Vegetables,
at a House Door, on the lintel of which is inscribed .>
the name of the artist. The characters are por-
trayed with truth, and both the figures and still life
exquisitely finished. The whole is in a sweet and
delicate tone. A charming chef-d’oeuvre.
Eglinton 251 0 0
25. G. Dow.—St. Jerome at his Devotions, kneeling at
the approach to a ruined Amphitheatre. An
umbrella, ingeniously placed, gives admirable effect
to the face of the saint and the objects on the fore-
ground. To the left, a leafless tree, as also a lantern,
rosary, and various utensils are finished with ex-
quisite care. An elaborate and precious cabinet
gem. Skirrow 199 10 0
o
26. Teniers.—An Interior with Boors smoking, and
others regaling in an Inner Apartment. Very spirited.
