THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
Letter I.
pen and Indian ink of the History of David, with much architec-
ture in the taste of the Renaissance.
" Martinus van Heemskirk, inventor, 1561." This is the
inscription on a very careful, though feebly executed pen-drawing,
representing David reproved by Nathan, which quite corresponds
with the known style of this master.
Henrick Golzius.—Colossal portrait of a man, of broad and
masterly execution in pen and sepia, in the style of his engravings,
with monogram, and the date 1608.
Jeronymus Bosch.—A fat man being shaved. Of vulgar
humour, and drawn with a broad pen.
Pieter Aertzen.—An old woman entreating a smith to patch
an old pair of bellows. Pen and bistre. Dated 1570. The style
of vulgar waggishness in which this drawing is conceived makes
me attribute it to this master.
Pieter Breughel the Elder.—Representation of some Dutch
proverb, unknown to me. A man is searching with a lantern under
bales of goods; another is looking into a tub ; a third into a sack,
&c. In the distance is an army. Full of character, and carefully
drawn with pen and brush in bistre.
Jan Breughel.—1 & 2. Landscapes, with travellers attacked
by robbers. Two very good drawings.
DRAWINGS BY THE LATER MASTERS OF THE
NETHERLANDISH SCHOOL.
Rubens.—1. Portrait of a woman in black and red chalk.
Slight and spirited.
2. Very slight but masterly sketch in the same style of a flat
Flemish landscape.
Vandyke.—1. Study for the portrait of the Earl of Arundel,
seated, full length. Very easy in motive, and thrown on to the
paper with the most masterly hand in black chalk.
2. Another sketch, of similar treatment, of a man seated, a child
at his side.
Jacob Jordaens.—Adoration of the Shepherds. A rich and
dramatic composition, of bold and masterly execution with chalk
and brush. Of unusual size.
