330 RUBENS.
1246. Albert Rubens, when a youth about thirteen years
old; seen in a front view, wearing a cap decked with a
feather.
Engraved by Schiavonetti, from a drawing then in the collection
of R. Cosway, Esq., R.A.

1247. The Martyrdom of a Saint (probably St. George).
The martyr is represented on the summit of a hill, bending on
on one knee, with his hands bound before him ; he is attended
by a female friend, who is binding up his head with a napkin,
while the executioner stands on his left with a sword in his
hand, and three soldiers are on the right awaiting the per-

with an infant in her arms, and a young man supporting her;
and behind these are an old man and woman, and a young
female and two children; all these appear to be deeply
affected by the approaching death of the saint. On the
opposite side are two soldiers, clad in armour, and a horse.
Three angels are seen descending, bearing the rewards of
martyrdom. This is a beautiful drawing in colours, done
with great freedom and energetic expression; evidently the
first study for an altar-piece.
