211. The Interior of Ostade’s painting room, in which he
has introduced a portrait of himself, occupied before his easel.
Numerous objects appropriate to the art are distributed about the
room, which is brightly illumined by a large window; an ascent
of a few steps, at the end of the apartment, leads to a cabinet, in
which is seen a man preparing colours. This picture is dated
1663, and is of equal excellence with the above, to which it forms
a companion. A similar subject occurs twice in the Catalogue.
Drawn in Lithography, by E. Allesson ; value about . 500 gs.
Now in the Dresden Gallery.
15 in. by 13 in.—P. (about.)
212. An Interior, with a company of sixteen figures, most
of whom are quarrelling and fighting ; amongst them is a
woman pulling away a man, who has got his adversary under
him ; and near this group are a woman and a boy, holding a
man who is struggling, with a knife in his hand, to join in the
fray. Dated 1656. Engraved by Suyderhoef.
Now in the Munich Gallery.

213. A company of thirteen persons in a room, partaking of
the usual recreations of the country ; the festive hilarity of the
scene is kept up by a fiddler, who is mounted upon an elevated
chair in the centre, and to whose music a couple are dancing ;
amongst the rest of the party may be observed a man seated
on a stool, pouring out a glass of liquor; behind whom are
a man with his hat under his arm, and a woman with a long
glass of wine in her hand, sitting together; and another man
standing by their side, with his hands behind him : a second
group are at a table, near a large window, at the end of the
