and St, John, is settling the body into position. St. Joseph of Arimathea
stands at the foot of the tomb, and another person, in a peaked hat, at
the head. Some tufts of grass grow in the 1. lower corner. There is no
shading.

(19.) Christ appearing to St. Mary Magdalen.
Christ stands r., bending forward with his r. hand raised in bene-
diction, and his 1. hand resting on the handle of a spade. His head is
bare. He wears a loose mantle, open in front but clasped at the throat.
There is no tunic under it. St. Mary Magdalen, with head uncovered
and long hair, wearing robe and mantle, kneels 1. with both hands
stretched out to Christ. The vase of ointment is on the ground at her
side. Behind her we see the wattled fence of the garden. One tuft of
grass is seen. There is no hatching.
[82 x 63.]
(20.) The Ascehsion.
The Apostles kneel in two groups, 1. and r. The group to 1. is headed
by the Yirgin, that to r. by St. Peter. They are watching Christ as
he ascends to heaven. His feet, resting on clouds, and the lower part of
his robe are still visible, and his footprints are seen on the flat hexagonal
summit of the hill. All the figures are fully draped, but no hatching
occurs.
[83 x 63.]
(21.) The Descent of the Holy Ghost.
The Apostles kneel, as in the preeeding subject, in two groups, 1.
and r., headed by the Yirgin and St. Peter respectively. Over them in the
centre hovers the Holy Dove, shedding fiery rays towards their heads.
There is rudimentary hatching along the folds of the drapery.
[82 x 62.]
(22.) The Last Judgment.
Christ sits in the centre, on a rainbow, with a second rainbow which
touches the earth, under his feet. He wears a mantle, clasped at the
throat, and draped over his knees; his body under it is naked. Both his
hands are raised, and he makes with the r. hand the sign of blessing, with
the 1. that of reprobation. The Yirgin kneels 1. and St. John Baptist r.,
in intercession for the soul which is rising from an open grave in the earth
beneath Christ’s feet. The Baptist wears a skin to which the head and
feet of the animal are still attached, so that they rest on the ground before
him as he kneels. There are five tufts of grass. Ho hatching is used.

SECOND SERIES.
(23.) The Consternation of the Soldiers.
Christ, 1., followed by one of the Apostles (St. James1?), is walking in
the garden of Gethsemane. He raises his 1. hand as he speaks to the
three soldiers who have come to arrest him, but have fallen backwards in
