PETER VAN SLINGELANDT.
white cap, a drab-coloured jacket, and a bluish apron, stands
in front of the room, cleaning a pair of tongs, on the top of
a tub. Near her, and around the apartment, may be noticed
a skellet, a pot, a candlestick, a jug, a frying pan, a turkey
carpet, and a picture. Every part of this little picture is
finished with the most elaborate care.
1 st. 4 in. by 1 st. 6.—P.
This is perhaps the picture which was sold in the Collection of
Mrs. Gordon in 1808, for 46^ gs. ; now worth 150 gs.
In the choice Collection of William Wells, Esq. Redleaf.
11. The Violin Player. A gentleman, habited in a purple
mantle, standing at an arched window, tuning a violin. A
music book and a pipe lie on the sill, and a vine grows on
the surrounding walls.—The companion.
12. The Author. A gentleman, wearing a brown morning
dress, standing by a table, with a pen in one hand, and the
other placed on a book.
10 in. by 8.—P.
In the Collection of the Duke of Mecklenburg.
13. The Lovers. A candle-light scene. This excellent
picture is composed of three figures, the nearest of whom to
the spectator is a young man in a red dress, seated, holding
with both hands a large jug on his knee, into which he is
looking. Near him sits a pretty woman, leaning on a cask,
and with great good-humour applying the youth’s pipe to her
lips. This act of freedom appears to have given displeasure
to her mother, who stands a little retired on the left, raising
her hand in an attitude of reproof. A lighted candle, a
paper of tobacco, and a pipe, are on the cask ; and a brass
jug and some onions are on a table at the side. This picture
