PETER DE HOOGE.

8. The Nursery. Interior of an apartment (without win-
dows), on the right of which is an interesting young woman
keeeling by the side of a cradle, raising the clothes prepara-
tory to placing her babe in it, which a servant standing
by holds in her arms, enveloped in a blanket. On the
opposite side of the room is a cheerful fire burning in the
chimney. A kettle and various objects improve the composi-
tion of this carefully-finished picture.
About 1 st. 6 by 1 st. 8.—C.
Bought by Mr. Woodburn, of M. De Gruyter, Amst., 1841.
9. The Duet. An apartment, in which are a gentleman
and a lady; the former, habited in a blue jacket and a yellow
sash, is seated, turning towards the lady, and at the same
time pointing to a violoncello, as if inviting her to join in a
duet; the latter is attired in white satin, and has a guitar in
her hand. A hat decked with feathers, is on a chair at the
side, near which is a spaniel dog.

10. The Visitor. A young lady, tastefully attired and
holding a pet dog under her arm, politely receiving a young
gentleman who has just entered the apartment, and is
respectfully presenting her a letter. A dog is at the feet of
the lady. This is painted in the artist’s careful manner,
and is rather sombre in effect. See also No. 28, Vol. IV.
