MR. MUNRO'S COLLECTION.
Letter XV.
Hart.—The Administration of the Sacrament: of a striking
Rembrandt-like effect.
Poole.—The sequestration of a convent of nuns under
Henry VIII. A large and rich composition by this painter,
hitherto unknown to me, attracted my attention by the intelligent
arrangement, the true and speaking motives, and the careful
execution.
Cope.—The Cup of Cold Water. A sick child drinking, with
his mother and a pilgrim beside him. In the door, a female and
a child. Highly satisfactory in truth of feeling, excellent keeping,
and sunny lighting.
Many of the pictures here described were not hung up, but
placed for my convenience, by Mr. Munro's kindness, separately,
upon an easel. The general effect of the many valuable pictures
contained in this gallery would be greatly increased were these
allowed to take the places now occupied by some of comparatively
less interest.
