REMBRANDT VAN RHYN.
Portraits of Men.
349. Justus Lipsius. This learned critic is represented in
nearly a front view, seated in an arm-chair.
Now in the collection of the Cardinal Felch, at Rome.
350. A Gentleman about thirty-five years of age, seen in a
three-quarter view, having light hair, parted in front and
falling in clusters on his shoulders. His dress chiefly consists
of a black mantle, relieved by a white pendent collar. The
right hand, much subdued in shadow, is placed in front.
Both this and the companion, are painted in the artist’s finished
or laboured manner. Imported by Mr. Woodburn.
3 ft. 1 in. by 2 ft. 6 in.—P.
Now in the collection of the late Lord Dovor.
351. A venerable Man, with a gray bushy beard, and a fine
expressive countenance, represented in a three-quarter view.
He has on a black velvet cap, and is dressed in a brown vest,
and a black cloak, which covers the right shoulder. The style,
execution, and colour, evince it to be a work done in the artist’s
best time, about 1644.
2 ft. 7 in. by 2 ft. 2 in.—P.
Now in the collection of Jeremiah Harman, Esq., at Woodford.
352. An elderly Man, with a gray beard, seen in nearly a
front view, habited in a black vest and mantle, and wearing a
large slouched hat. He is seated, with his gloves in his right
hand, and the other resting on the arm of his chair. This
very excellent portrait is engraved by R. Houston, from a
picture then in the possession of John Barnard, Esq. It is
also engraved by Charles Phillips.
2 ft. 10 in. by 2 ft. 4 in.—P.
Now in the collection of Lord Scarsdale, Keddleston Hall.
