10. Portraits of a Family of distinetion, consisting of a
gentleman, a lady, and their son and daughter : represented
on the terrace of a mansion, only the portico of which is
introduced. The gentleman, habited in black silk, relieved
with white sleeves and collar, is in the act of ascending a
step of the portico, and at the same time turns his head to
speak to the lady who is following him : her dress consists
of a black silk robe, relieved at the bosom with point lace,
and an orange-coloured petticoat, bordered with silver;
her right hand, containing a fan, rests on her waist. A
sculptured fountain adorns the left side, near which is a young
lady in a white dress, sitting on part of the fountain, playing
on a guitar ; the gentleman is behind her with a similar
instrument in his hand, bending to hand the lady a piece of
music. A greyhound in a playful attitude, and another dog,
are introduced. This admirable production possesses all the
taste and style of the finest works of Van Dyck.
