71. A Reposo. The subject is introduced in the fore-ground
of a landscape, and near a cottage and some ruins. Here the
Virgin, clothed in a blue mantle, is seen reposing on some
straw, with the swaddled babe lying asleep by her, and Joseph
seated, reclining his head on his hand; they are accompanied
by an angel in white raiment, who, by his gesture, is awakening

Now in the Royal Musee, at Berlin.
72. The Holy Family. This splendid picture presents the
interior of a rustic apartment, in front of which is seated the
Virgin, dressed in a red robe and a dark coloured skirt; she

she still holds open on her knees, and is raising the coverlid of
a cradle, in which the infant Saviour lies asleep on a white
downy pillow; a little fire, over which a pot is simmering,
burns on the hearth close to her, and in a retired part of the
room is seen St. Joseph chopping wood. A group of angels
hovering above serve to complete the composition, and also to
