MR. STIRLING'S COLLECTION.
Letter IX.
On the left are pedestrians and a horse. A rather dark, but a
good and careful picture of his second period.
Il Padovanino.—The Ecce Homo. The composition devoid
of style, but well painted and in a warm and forcible tone.
drawing-room.
Teniers.—A large landscape, in clear lighting. In the fore-
ground a man, a woman, and child. Of great effect.
Nicolas Poussin (?).—The Finding of Moses. A large picture
with a beautiful clear landscape, and differing from his known
composition. It hangs too high, however, for a closer opinion.
Gaudenzio Ferrari.—The Virgin holding the Child on her
lap, who is giving St. Peter the keys. On the left is St. Paul.
Behind the Virgin is a cave. On each side landscape. A fine
picture of the Lombard school, reminding me most of this master.
Gaspar Potjssin.-—2. A landscape with a man reposing in
the foreground, and conversing with a standing figure. A trans-
parent and careful picture, with a bright horizon.
Claude Lorraine.—On the left much foliage. In the fore-
ground Christ and the two disciples on the way to Emmaus. On
the right a distant view. In the middle distance buildings, with
a hill in the background. A small picture of the most refined
charm, throughout transparent and very careful.
Lavinia Fontana.—Two girls in a boat, with a youth rowing.
On wood. Of very graceful motive and careful treatment. This
picture has much of the character of this gifted lady painter.
Jan Steen.—Christ visiting the sisters at Bethlehem. A rich
composition. Treated quite within the range of his art, and re-
sembling his Marriage at Cana in the Aremberg collection at
Brussels. In each of these pictures is a large curtain. Signed.
On wood. Admirably lighted, and of great power of colour;
now, however, in a somewhat neglected condition.
Rubens.—3. A scene from the history of some Roman Emperor.
Above the Emperor, in the sky, is an eagle, with a wreath of
laurel. On the left are builders. The background a landscape.
On wood. Very spirited.
Guido Reni.—St. John the Evangelist, looking up. In an
oval. Warmer in feeling than usual, and well finished in a warm
and clear tone.
