THE QUEEN’S GALLERY. 21
32 A Woman at an Arched Window—watering a car- 4
nation. On one side of the window hangs a pair of scales,
on the other a bird-cage. Formerly at Windsor. It has
been in the Royal collection for at least a hundred and fifty
years. See King William’s Catalogue, 1697. M.S.
P. 11 in. by 9 in. (Smith’s Cat. 50.)
33 The Sick Chamber.—A lady, habited in a cap and a 5
bed-gown of white satin, richly trimmed with fur, is seated
in an arm chair ; a doctor stands on her left hand, feeling
her pulse, and at the same time examining the contents of
a bottle ; a female behind the lady’s chair.
The composition nearly the same with that of Gerard
Douw’s famous picture in the Louvre—“ La Femme
Hydrophique.”
Purchased by George IV. for 1000 guineas. P. 12 in. by 9| in.
34 An Interior.—A mother is nursing her infant by the 6
fireside ; behind her is a young girl, who appears to be
amusing the child; in the foreground a cradle; on the right
is a cat. Brought from Paris by M. La Fontaine, and sold
by him to George IV. as a work of Gerard Douw. It is
with more reason ascribed to Slingelandt.
P. 16 in. by 14] in. (Smith’s Cat. of Slingelandt’s, 24.)
35 The Fruit Seller.—An elderly woman is bargaining for 7
grapes ; on the ground a basket of peaches, and a melon, &c.
From the Choiseul collection. P. 17 in. by 13j in.
36 Head of an Old Man—in a circular frame. 8
DU JARDIN (Karel), b. at Amsterdam, 1635; d. at Venice, 1678.
[Another Dutch painter of landscape and cattle, not so simply true
to nature as Cuyp and Adrian Vander Velde, but more so than Both
or Berghem. His pictures are not numerous, and unequal, for he led
a dissipated, restless life ; but his best pictures, those painted in Italy,
are precious for sentiment, beauty, and the most sparkling and
finished execution. He painted a few small sacred and historical
subjects very cleverly. They are considered curiosities, as differing
so much from his usual style.]
