DUKE OF BEDFORD'S COLLECTION : Letter YI.
Sir John Hayter.—Trial of Lord William Russell. Well
known by the admirable engraving, and not so able as that would
lead us to expect.
Sir Edwin Landseer.—1. Stag-hunt. In this large and rich
picture I am inclined to recognise the influence of Rubens.
the queen's dressing-room.
Bonnington.—View of a sea-coast in France. Of luminous
transparency.
Leslie.—Lady Jane Grey refusing the offer of the Crown. The
composition not so fortunate as usual, and the colouring weak, but
the heads refined and full of expression.
Sir Charles Eastlake.—Pilgrims in sight of Rome (p. 466).
Paul Potter (?).—Landscape with cattle. Though placed
too high for an opinion, I can at all events decide it not to be by
that master. The style of conception corresponds more with
Cuyp, 1.
Sir Edwin Landseer.—2. Stags in the park at Woburn.
Happily composed, and the heads of the animals very animated,
but the colouring cold, and the treatment rather scenic.
the queen's sitting-room.
Claude Lorraine.-—View of the Castle of St. Angelo, with
the bridge over the Tiber. By this more favourable light I per-
ceived that my former opinion of this large and fine picture was
unfounded. It offers an unusual combination of warmth, power,
and clearness of tone.
Gaspar Poussin.—1. Large landscape, with two persons con-
versing in the foreground. The composition in his most elevated
style, and also clearer in colour than the darkness in which I viewed
it before had led me to believe.
Wilson.—View of Had don Hall. Very picturesque in effect,
and of careful handling, but somewhat dark in colour.
Gaspar Poussin.-—2. On the left are high hills, on the right
an extensive distance with water. In the middle distance is also
water. The sky, which is unusual with this master, is almost
without clouds. A worthy companion in every way to the pre-
ceding picture.
Albert Cuyp.—2. View of the Rhine, with the town of Nym-
