RUBENS.

Potsdam Gallery.
A decorated oval is in the centre above them, encompassing an
armed warrior, under whose feet are slain enemies; two angels
are above. An unfinished sketch, probably intended for a
frontispiece to a book.
2 ft. by 1ft. 7 in.—P. Worth 60 gs.
343. Ajax offering Violence to Cassandra before the Altar of
Minerva. A very indifferent picture, and probably the work
of a scholar.
7 ft. 2 in. by 9 ft. 2 in.—C.
The following Pictures are in the Sans Souci at
POTSDAM.
344. Susanna and the Elders. Susanna is represented with
one leg over a high stool, and concealing her bosom with both
hands; the elders are behind, removing her covering, and
one of them is touching her back with his hand. This is
a repetition, by a scholar, of the Munich picture.
6 ft. 7 in. by 6 ft. 11 in.—C.
Engraved by P. Pontius. The same in reverse, with slight
variations, is engraved by Querinus Marc. The subject is also
engraved by Vosterman, Simon, and Jegher.
345. The Virgin with the Infant Saviour in her arms,
encircled by a multitude of angels, two of whom are placing a
chaplet on her head.
4 ft. 9 in. by 6 ft. 6 in.—C.
Engraved by Visscher. There is also a spirited etching of this,
with some slight variations in the figures, anonymous.
This is a duplicate of the one in the Louvre, painted by a scholar.
346. Abraham about to sacrifice his Son Isaac. The youth,
with his hands bound behind him, is on his knees at the side
