10. The Descent of the Holy Ghost. In accordance with
Scripture history, the whole of the disciples, together with
the Virgin, are assembled in a large room, having an ascent of
three steps in front; here, on the left, is seated the apostle
Peter, habited in a blue mantle and a tawny yellow vesture,
his hands are united, and his attention is directed upwards ;
a second apostle is behind him, bending forward, and conceal-
ing his face with both hands ; on the opposite side is a group
of three more, one of whom, wearing a blue mantle, stands
with his back to the spectator ; the Virgin, with the remain-
der of the disciples, are on the summit of the steps. Des-
cription, No. 22, Vol. iv. improved.
In the Munich Gallery.
11. The Ascension of our Lord. This picture represents
the moment when the ascending Saviour enters the clouds,
and the gazing disciples behold with wonder and regret the
departure of their Lord. Of these distinguished persons,
two are kneeling on the left, one of whom has both hands
raised,—-the other is devoutly pressing his breast; beyond
these are six others, whose various gestures express their
several feelings ; on the opposite side are others looking up.

ther, and is now in the possession of the Earl of Lonsdale.
