92. The Prodigal Son among Harlots. The scene repre-
sents a sort of vestibule with a bed on its ssoor, and a young
woman lying on it, from whose side the prodigal appears to
have just risen, and is beckoning to a female, seen on the far-
ther side of a balustrade with three attendants : a man
habited in a Turkish dress stands on the right of the youth,
and a young woman in a yellow silk dress is kneeling by the
bed side with a silver bason in her hands ; four other women
are at the head of the bed, one of whom has in her hands a
blue garment and a wreath of ssowers. Painted in a free
style.

93. The Dainty Morsel. A boy, wearing a brown dress
and a large hat, carrying a basket of herrings on his arm,
and a porringer of stewed currants in his hand, into which
he has dipped a bit of cake, and is about to drop it into his
mouth: his smiling countenance indicates the anticipated
pleasure. He is accompanied by a girl who has a cake in her
hand, and whose chubby good-humoured countenance equally
testifies her delight, Some houses compose the background.
A freely painted production.

94. The Painter and his Wife at table in a garden. A
covered table occupies the centre of the foreground, at which
are seated J an Steen and his wife ; the former leans on the
table, with a pipe in his hand, and with eyes half closed, is
puffing the smoke from his lips, while the latter, overcome by
too free an indulgence in good cheer has fallen asleep resting
both arms on the table. The sseeting joys of life are indicated
