THE QUEEN S GALLERY.

78 A Peasant-woman.—For Ostade, uncommonly pleas- 7
ing in the character and expression, and painted with the
greatest delicacy of tone and freedom of touch; date, 1668.
P. 16 in. by 11 in.
79 Interior—with a group of five boors and a woman at 8
table, and two children playing. Dated 1656.
Baring collection. P. 15 in. by 12-g- in. {Smith's Cat. 199.)
80 Interior—with a music party; a group of three men and 9
a woman; behind stands a boor with a pipe, and beyond
them five other persons conversing over a fire. Dated 1656.
Baring collection. P. 17 in. by 20j in. {Smith’s Cat. 200.)
OSTADE (Isaac van), b. at Lubeck, 1617; died young.
81 Halt of Travellers-—before an inn by the roadside. 1
Among a great number of figures, the most conspicuous is
a lady about to enter a post-waggon or diligence, drawn
by a white horse; she is assisted by a gentleman, and a
poor cripple is near them begging. This is not one of
Isaac van Ostade’s finest pictures in point of execution,
but is very rich and animated as a composition. Sold from
the Geldermeester collection, in 1800, for 126Z.
Baring collection. P. 2 ft. 8 in. by 3 feet 7 in. {Smith’s Cat. 35.)
82 A Peasant’s Family—(two men, a woman, and three 2
children) assembled before the door of a house, listening
at their ease to the performance of an old fiddler. Ad-
mirable for character and precision of drawing, and beau-
tifully painted.
P. 15 in. by 12 in. {Smith’s Cat. 60.)
POELEMBURG (Cornelius), b. 1586; d. 1660.
[A Dutch painter, employed much by our Charles I. His little
artificial landscapes have been compared, not unaptly, to “ glazed
china ware.”]
83 A Landscape—with antique ruins and figures. ]
Baring collection. C. 12 in. by 16 in.
