263. Peter denying his Lord. The Interior of a guard-
room, with a party of four soldiers bourgeois seated at table,
playing at cards; one of the gamesters wears a gray vest, a
scarlet cloak, and a drab hat; and his adversary is clad in a
buff jerkin and armour. The attention of the other two at
table, and of a fifth, who is near, with a halbert in his hand, is
directed to Peter, who stands before a fire, warming himself;
his gesture denotes him to be replying in anger to a maid-
servant, who has her hand on his arm ; two other men are also
by the fire. In a remote part of the room, on the opposite side,
are seen four soldiers; two of them are quitting at a side door.
This excellent production is dated 1646.

regions, in which appear numerous monsters of various forms;

terrific demon, with wings, is hurrying him along to the gulf
below.
