THE GROSVENOR GALLERY. 265
DOUW (Gerard), b. at Leyden, 1613; d. 1674. [See p. 20. The
subject of the picture here is more varied, and the sentiment more at-
tractive than is usual with this elaborate and, in his way, exquisite
painter.]
95 Interior.—A young mother is nursing her child, another
child looks over from behind, and amuses the infant with
a coral. In front, to the right, a cradle, and behind it a
table covered with a rich Turkey carpet, a silver candle-
stick and open book on the table. A chandelier hangs
from the ceiling, from which is suspended an embroidered
curtain. An open door behind looks into another room, in
which are two persons.
This is better than scourers of brass pans and sellers of
fish; the execution, too, is beautiful. Nevertheless, in
point of finished workmanship, the distinguishing charac-
teristic of the painter, this picture is not quite equal to
those of Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Hope. The companion
picture, also representing a mother and her child, is in her
Majesty’s gallery, (No. 34.) Both were in the Choiseul
gallery.
C. 1 ft. 7 in. by 1 ft. 3 in. (Smith’s Cat. 70.)
FYT (Jan), b. 1625. [An excellent painter of animals, particularly
dogs—the Landseer of his time. Even Rubens, it is said, sometimes
employed him to introduce animals into his pictures, though he must
have been very young when Rubens died. See p. 139.]
96 A Hawk—pouncing on some ducks.
97 Dead Game.—Two dogs behind.
HOBBEMA (Minderhout). [All that we so love in this delightful
painter—the soft feeling of rural peace and still retirement, with the
presence of life, air, light, and cheerful sunshine bursting through
the embowering clustering trees—all are found in the two beautiful
pictures here. See p. 25.]
98 A Village Scene.—A winding road through a wooded
country; the foliage, as usual, seeming to stir and whisper
in the summer air. Four rural dwellings are scattered
among the trees. The figures, which are by Lingelbach,
represent two sportsmen with six dogs, and a falconer car-
