of the patient stands by the doctor, looking with a significant
smile at his grave face; and near her are the nurse and a
young rogue of a boy with a syringe in his hand. The figure
of a cupid is over the arched door in the back of the room.
This, like the preceding, merits the warmest commenda-
tions.

In the Collection of the Baron Verstolke de Solen, Hague.
10. The Doctor attending a Lady enceinte. The principal
group consists of a lady, a female attendant, and a doctor ;
the former, a pretty woman with light brown hair, dressed in
a grey satin jacket and a redish silk petticoat, is recumbent
on a couch, on the farther side of which stands the doctor,
habited in a fancy dress, bending over his patient feeling her
pulse; at the same time, a jolly good-humoured fellow is
seen approaching, bearing in one hand a pasty pie, and in
the other a jug. More retired in the apartment are a woman
opening oysters, a man with a glass of liquor in his hand, and
another quitting the room. A dog lies asleep in front.
Painted with great delicacy in the style of Metsu.

Collection of William Hastings, Esq., by Messrs. Christie and
Manson, 1840.
Bought by Mr. Chaplin. Ill gs.
11. The Love-sick Lady. This picture very nearly corres-
ponds in its composition with No. 118, Vol. IV. Upon a
table placed in front of the apartment, are a glass, a bottle,
and a paper; and near this object is a dog.
This, together with many other fine pictures, were presented to
the City of Edinburgh, by the late Sir John Erskine, Bart., form-
ing the chief ornaments in the Museum of that city.
