JACOB JORDAENS.
Two of his small paintings, “The King drinks,” and the “Satyr and Man
blowing hot and cold,” (the latter in the Bourgeois gallery at Dulwich college)
are univerially known and admired; as is the Pan and Syrinx, which he
finished in six days, although the figures are of the natural size, and the pic-
ture is enriched with a fine landscape.*
He demanded only moderate prices, yet amassed a considerable property,
which he enjoyed to his eighty-fourth year, when he died on the same day with
his daughter, who was buried with him.
