preparatory to which, the eldest boy is repeating the grace.
The mother, attired in a black dress and a white apron, sits on
the left in a profile view : and the father is at the opposite
end with his cap in his hand, piously attending to the cere-
mony ; behind him is a young woman descending some stairs
with a jug in her hand. This is a well finished and pleasing
work of art.

90. The Grace. This excellent picture, like the preceding,
exhibits a man in humble life, surrounded by his family, con-
sisting of six persons, about to partake their repast, prepara-
tory to which, grace is being said ; the father of the family
sits on the left with his cap on his lap, and his hands united;
on his left are his wife and a child, the latter of whom she is
sedulously instructing how to conduct itself on such occasions ;
their eldest daughter, a young woman, sits close to the front,
with her back to the spectator, and a youth and a maid are
near the mother.
3 ft. 3 by 2 st. 9.— C.
In the Collection of the Duke of Rutland, Belvoir Castle.
91. The Courtesan and Jesuit. A fine buxom woman
suitably attired, sitting in a nonchalant position near a large
window, one casement of which is open, and she leans on its
sill, listening to the wily insinuations of a priest, who stands
on the outer side of it: behind him is an elderly woman,
who appears to be interested in the intrigue. A variety of
appropriate objects contribute to picturesque effect.
