6. Portraits of a Family of distinction (styled the Elector
of Hesse, and Family). This admirable work of art is com-
posed of eight figures, of whom a gentleman, habited in
black silk, sits on the right in a front view, with one hand
extended, and his attention directed to the artist, who stands
on the farther side of a table showing him a drawing. On
the opposite side is a lady, elegantly attired in a white satin
robe decked with gold lace, and a yellow petticoat, holding
the hand of a child who stands by, looking affectionately
up in her face : on her left is a fine boy, amusing himself
with a cockhorse. A negro servant stands behind the lady,
and on her right is a nurse with an infant in her arms. The
view represents a vestibule, adorned with a scarlet curtain.

7. Gonzales painting the portrait of Gerard Seghers. The
scene exhibits the interior of a room, on the left of which is
seated the painter at his easel; behind him stands a gentle-
man (probably intended for Daniel Seghers), and on his
right sits another gentleman, dressed in black. The sitter,
Seghers, is on the opposite side of the apartment; he wears
a black cloak, and a large hat, and holds a paper in his hand.
A table is placed near him, on which are a bottle containing
ssowers, and other objects. At the end of the apartment is
seen a pupil of the painter, entering at a side door with a
palette and pencils in his hand.
