VAN DYCK.

842. Portraits of Prince Charles, Princess Mary, and James,
Duke of York. This appears to be a duplicate picture of one
described No. 211, p. 61.
Now in the collection of the Earl of Pembroke.
843. Portraits of the Earl and Countess of Bedford. The
former is represented in a three-quarter view, seated on the left,
habited in black or raven-gray silk, with open sleeves, and lace
collar. A mantle is cast over the left arm, and that hand rests
on the elbow of his seat, while the other holds the left hand of
his lady, who is seated by his side, and looking towards him.
She is attired in an orange-coloured silk robe, decked at the
bodice with pearls ; similar jewels adorn the head and neck.
The right hand, holding a rose, is placed on her lap.
4 ft. 3 in. by 5st.—C.
This is a feeble and most unsatisfactory picture, if it really be by
Van Dyck.
Now in the collection of the Earl of Pembroke.

844. A Study for an equestrian Portrait, supposed to be that
of the Duke D’Arenberg. He is represented riding a light
gray charger, clad in armour, and girt with a red scarf, which
ssoats behind him; his head is uncovered, and he holds a baton
in the right hand. A free and beautiful sketch.
2 ft. by 1 st. 8 in.—C.
Now in the collection of M. Goll de Frankenstein, at Amsterdam.
