Her auburn hair is turned up on the forehead, and adorned
with a diadem of costly jewels ; and her dress is composed of
a yellow mantle lined with ermine, and a richly embroidered
white satin bodice. She also holds a small book with both
hands, and the position of the body indicates her to be
kneeling. These excellent pictures were doubtless painted
for the covers of an ex voto altar-piece, very probably the one
mentioned in the life of the artist, page 25, and described in
the catalogue of his works, No. 812 of Vol. u. These por-
traits are now in the possession of Mr. Van Dam, Utrecht.
