THE BRIDGEWATER GALLERY.
153
This is considered a picture of first-rate excellence, the
utmost variety and spirit in charactei’ being combined with
the utmost beauty of touch and tone. Formerly in the
collection of M. de Brumoy, and sold from it, in 1777, for
440Z. (Smith’s Cat. 662.)
C. 2 ft. 1 in. by 2 ft. 4J in. Engraved by Le Bas, large and small,
under the title of “ Les Accords Flamandsalso by W. Finden.
242 A Village Wedding. — Composition of about thirty-
four figures. The company is assembled outside the yard
of a cottage. In the background the bride sits modestly
at table between two elderly women, with other guests; a
man and woman are dancing; the rest smoking, feasting, &c.
Full of rustic enjoyment and spirited character, but not
equal to the last picture in the tone of colour and the land-
scape. C. 2 ft. 1 in. by 2 ft. 11 in. {Smith’s Cat. 663.)
243 Interior.—In front, two boors smoking. In the back-
ground, four men gambling over a fire. A small but very
finished and delicate picture, of the best period.
P. in. by 8 in. {Smith’s Cat. 664.)
244 The Traveller.—A peasant, in a scarlet jacket, with
a basket at his back, going up to a woman who is stand-
ing at a cottage door ; a cluster of trees beyond. Very
pleasing in effect, though slightly painted.
P. 11 in. by 9 in. (Ascribed to the Elder Teniers.)
245 Game of Nine-pins.—Ten figures; eight peasants in
the court-yard of a cabaret, one of whom, in a red j acket,
is stooping to throw the ball. A woman, with a jug in
her hand, entering at a door in the background.
P. 10] in. by 14 in. {Smith’s Cat. 661.)
TERBURG (Gerard), b. at Zwol, 1608; d. 1681. [A'most elegant
painter of fancy subjects, taken from the higher classes of society.]
246 Interior.—A young girl, in white satin drapery—as
usual marvellously painted—stands with her back to the
spectator, holding a music book. To the right are two
