THE GROSVENOR GALLERY. 275
is milking. This picture is executed in the soft and
delicately fused manner of the master, the charm of which
is enhanced by a warm but soft afternoon light; it is
dated 1658, and must therefore have been painted in his
nineteenth year. Formerly in the collections of M. Lor-
mier, the Duke de Choiseul, the Prince de Conti, and
lastly from the Agar collection. It greatly resembles a
picture by the same master, in Sir Robert Peel’s collection.
C. 1 ft. 7 in. by 1 ft. 11 in. (Smith’s Cat. 17.)
VANDER WERFF (Adrian), b. 1659; d. 1722. [The picture
here may be considered as a perfect example of the painter’s delicate,
elegant, elaborate, soulless, marble style.]
130 The Riposo.—-The Virgin bending fondly over the
Child, who is sleeping on a part of her drapery; Joseph is
seen behind. Dated 1706. Painted by Vander Werff,
for his great patron, the Elector Palatine, who presented
it to the Cardinal Ottoboni, from whose family it passed
into the Agar collection.
P. 1 ft. 9J in. by 1 ft. 5J in. (Smith’s Cat. 70.)
WOUVERMANNS (Philip), b. 1620; d. 1668. [See p. 60.]
131 A Horse Fair .—Clear and exquisite in execution.
Agar collection. C. 1 ft. 11 in. by 2 ft. 2 in. (Smith’s Cat. 416.)

BONNINGTON, (Richard Parkes), b. 1801; d. 1828. [Of him
Sir Thomas Lawrence said, “ I have never known, in my own time,
the early death of talent so promising, and so,rapidly and so obviously
improving.”]
132 A Flat Sea Shore.—Two children with fish, a boy, and
three ducks. With these materials we have a charming
picture, richly coloured, lighted up with the sunniest effect
and executed with such apparent facility, it is as if he had
“ breathed” it on his canvas.
