100. Le Jambon. This excellent picture represents a fine
portly man, about fifty years of age, habited in a brown dress,
and having on a white cap, seated with a jug in one hand,
and a glass of liquor in the other ; his attention is directed
to a covered table furnished with a fine ham, and other ob-
jects placed before him. In a receding part of the room are
two boors and a woman near a fire. A dead fowl lies on a
form in front.

101. The Artist and his Family, performing a concert at
the door of a Cabaret. The principal group in this excellent
picture, consists of the artist and a gentleman seated at a
table ; the former of whom is playing on a bagpipe, and is
accompanied by the latter on a guitar ; the painter’s son
stands behind the table with a ssute in his hand ; two ladies
(one of them drawing on her glove), stand near listening to
the music. On the opposite side, is a fine hale elderly
sportsman holding a cream-coloured greyhound by a cord, and
sollowed by a brace of black and tan terriers ; his attention
is directed to an interesting looking lad, who is performing
the egg-dance. The chateau of Teniers is seen in the dis-
tance. Signed, and dated 1644, a period distinguished for
vigorous execution and brilliancy of colouring.
