8 A small composition of the Virgin and Child-
with six saints worshipping—St. Romualdo, St. Peter, St.
Andrew, St. , St. Catherine, and St. Agnes.
The Virgin holds a book in one hand; her countenance
and the air of the head, is remarkable for dignity and
grace. The infant Christ holds some ears of corn. The
St. Catherine looking up with adoration, is exquisite. B.
Purchased at the sale of the Hon. Charles Greville’s
pictures; brought by his uncle, Sir William Hamilton,
from Italy.
This is a cabinet picture of exceeding beauty; most de-
licate in the sentiment and the treatment, yet with a cer-
tain largeness and grandeur in the style of conception,
reminding us of Correggio. A duplicate is in the posses-
sion of Mr. Rogers.
9 Christ on the Mount of Olives.—An angel holds
the cross and cup, and three attendant cherubs bear the
crown of thorns, the nail, and the rod.
A small cabinet picture, very delicately executed. Pur-
chased out of the Giustiniani Gallery, by Bonnemaison,
in , from whom Lord Lansdowne bought it the follow-
ing year. L. H.
The cabinet pictures of Ludovico are, when fine, ex-
tremely valuable. This picture, the one already mentioned,
