seated a man examining an ancient gun. In a receding part
of the scene may be noticed four men working at a forge.
l#101 by 2# 7.-P.
Purchased by Mr. Arteria for Edmund Higginson, Esq.
214. Odd or Even ? A company of artisans grouped round
a table at the door of a country ale-house, only a small
portion of which is seen, occupying the right of the picture,
having a high fence of boards at its extremity, which form
an angle with the house; here five men have congregated
round a table, and four of them have their attention directed
to an old man, wearing a buff-coloured jacket, who stands at
the end of the table, on which he rests his left hand, while
the right is raised and closed ; and from the expression of
his countenance he appears to be demanding the question of
“ odd or even ?” of a young man in a blue dress, who sits on a
stool in front of the table. Of three others, two are standing,
and the third is seated, leaning his elbow on the table, and
supporting his head on his hand. The hostess stands at the
door of the house, with an empty jug in her hand. A second
party are seen at the extremity of the court, in the opposite
side.

Sold in the Collection of the late Count Perregaux by Mons.
George, 1841; 11,800 fr. and 5 percent. (495Z.)
Imitator of D. Teniers.
KNUPFER. There is a picture by this master in the Col-
lection at Hesse Cassel, which so closely resembles the style
of Teniers as to leave little doubt of the capability of the
artist to have painted many objects almost deceptively like
him.
