PETER PAUL RUBENS.

6. A bas relief in ivory, Nereides, Tritons, and Cupids, after
designs by Rubens.
7. A Dance of Infants, sculptured in ivory, same, &c.
8. Psyche and Cupid asleep, sculptured in ivory, on a bed of
tortoiseshell, after ditto, &c.
9. Adam and Eve, sculptured in ivory.
10. A beautiful Cameo in agate.
11. A beautiful Vase, in oriental jaspar.
12. Vases in crystal, and other rare objects.
[Note.—The chief part of the above carvings in ivory were the
work of Lucas Feydherbe, a native of Malines, who studied paint-
ing several years in the school of Rubens, and afterwards pursued
the art of sculpture, in which department he became eminently
successful. Many of the finest sigures carved in wood, which adorn
the churches at Antwerp, and other cities, are by his hand. See
note at bottom of page 35, Vol. n.
