Steenwyck, and is signed and dated 1626 ; underneath which is
the name of Mytens, with the date 1627. It is also inscribed
with the name, titles, and age of the king (cetatis sues twenty-
seven). This picture is constantly ascribed to Van Dyck, and
is mentioned as such, in terms of high commendation, by

similar variations, is in the possession of Lord Delawarr.

He successfully copied the works of Van Dyck, and attained
