COLLECTION OF SIR R. PEEL. 357
ermine, hence the title of the picture, of which there is a
duplicate in the Queen’s Gallery, and one at Munich.
From the collection of M. Gaignat, in 1768, for 1244;
from that of the Due de Praslin, in 1793, for 3784; the
Talleyrand collection, and in that of Mr. Beckford, of
Fonthill. From the last purchased by Sir Robert Peel,
for 305 guineas.
C. in. by 6| in. {Smith's Cat. 29.)
MIERIS (Wilhelm), b. at Leyden, 1662 ; d. 1749. [The son of the
former, but far inferior to him. His pictures are laboured with
minute delicacy, but are cold and inanimate in colour and effect.
The picture here is one of the finest he ever executed.]
21 Le Chat .—An arched window, within which is seen a
young woman speaking to a man with a basket of fish; and
a number of objects—cabbages, ducks, a dish of fish, &c.
Beneath the window a bas-relief; and a tortoise-shell cat,
which gives its title to the picture. At the sale of Sir Simon
Clarke and Mr. Hibbert, 1804, sold for 354 guineas; then
in the possession of John Dent, Esq., 1827; sold by him,
for 370 guineas, to Sir Robert Peel.
P. 19] in. by 13 in. {Smith's Cat. 45.)
LINGELBACH (Jan), b. at Frankfort, 1625: d. 1687.
22 A Hay Harvest.—An open landscape, with the effect
of an approaching shower. Among the numerous figures,
are a man on horseback, with a woman behind him. In
front, to the right, a group of four persons reposing; and
to the left, a lady and gentleman hawking, with dogs and
attendants. The tone of colour is perhaps a little too grey,
but it is a beautiful picture. Signed and dated 1664.
C. 2 ft. 2 in. by 2 ft. 10 in.
MOUCHERON and A. VANDER VELDE. [Frederic Moucheron,
b. at Embden, 1633 ; d. 1686. [See the Introduction.]

foliage, with tall cypresses intermingled. Many figures
by Vander Velde.
