the painter of the picture, but it bears no resemblance to the
miniature-like, simple portraits of that painter. Others suggested
Marinus von Romerswale as the painter, but this artist is
finical in his brushwork and the well-known mannerisms found in
similar pictures by this follower of Massys are missing, The
picture closely resembles Massys' own style and is very similar
to the signed picture in the Louvre entitled the “Monay-Changers".
Two small portraits of a young couple, formerly attributed to the
young Hans Holbein and even now attributed to bim by some,
are in my opinion typical works of a Dutch Contemporary,
Ambrosius Benson. This painter whose name has recently
become known, was influenced by the Milanese School. The two
portraits are particularly fine examples of his art.
Almost all the great Flemish masters are well represented.
P. P. Rubens by a broadly conceived landscape and two large
sketches, one of which, a design for the allegorical frescoes in
Whitehall, London, “the Victory of Harmony over Discord",
displays all the transparent brilliancy of colouring and the masterly
development of his latest period. With regard to A, van Dyck's
works the coloured study of the portrait of the painter Ryckaert
is especially attractive, and so are the two good pictures by
D. Teniers; that of the “Archers" being one of his best works on
account of its bright, sunny tone and the liquid painting. Besides
there isa “Family" by G. Coques one of the best works of this
“lesser van Dyck", as he was rightly named even in his own time.
The wealth of pictures of the Dutch School is astonishing.
Scarcely one of the great masters is missing. First on the
list three pictures by Frans Hals. The portrait of a young,
pretty, well-to-do lady of Haarlem shows the brilliant rendering,
the buoyant yet charming fullness, which characterise above all
the artist's middle-period, about 1640. His cheerful temperament,
his sunny humour appear fully in the two round pictures of
iaughing, fair, curly-haired boys, painted to the height of perfection,.
Hals' Contemporary Th. de Keys er of Amsterdam, who is more
dignified and careful than the great Haarlem master, occasionally
approaches him in his small-sized portraits. But in master-
pieces, such as the half-length portraits of a young man and
his wife in the Oppenheim Gallery, he equalizes him in freshness
of conception and delicacy of treatment. De Keyser never
painted more perfect nor more delightful pictures than these.
It is quite natural that we should expect to find a
Rembrandt in a collection of the importance of the one under
review, The study of a young girl's head dates from the
