Italian productions, and may well vie in colour with the rich
hues of Giorgione.
2 st. 6 by 2 st.—C.
Formerly in the Collection of the Earl of Warwick. Sold at
Auction by Messrs. Christie and Manson, and bought by Mr. H.
Farrer.
83. Portrait of Signor Amaggia, a Genoese, when about
fifty-five years of age. The face is seen in a three-quarter
view, having short brown hair, mustachios, and a tuft of
beard. He is habited in a black dress and a cloak of the
same colour, relieved by a square-shaped white frill; he is
represented standing with a letter in his right hand, on which
is inscribed “Al Signor Amaggia, Vandick, Genoa.” The
left hand, holding an eye-glass, rests on a table covered with
a yellow cloth, on which lies his hat. This once excellent
portrait has been shorn of much of its original beauty, by the
hand of an ignorant cleaner.
6 st. 6 by 4 st. 6.—C.
In the Collection of Lord Berwick, Attingliam Hall.
84. Portrait of Lord Banning, represented standing,
habited in a suit of black, and holding his hat which is

85. Portrait of Mary Howard when about twenty-six
