BAEL OF DUNMOEE'S COLLECTION: Letter IX.

sider this a good picture by this master. On copper. Of striking
effect.

Gaspae Poussin.—1. A hilly landscape, with figures bathing in
the foreground. Sketchy in treatment, but so grand and poetical
in composition that I attribute it to this master.

Tintoeetto.—1. Portrait of Admiral Capello, with a long
white beard, and a crimson mantle over his armour. On the left,
next him, architecture, the background dark. Almost to the knees.
Very energetically conceived, and of broad but careful execution
in his reddish golden tone.

Giuseppe Poeta, called Salviati.—Joseph and Potiphar's
wife. She is very vulgarly conceived, but both are coloured in a
clear and powerful tone.

Jacob Bltysdael.—1. On the right in the foreground is a piece
of water with the sun upon it. On the left a wood with a road
leading through it, and a seated figure conversing with one stand-
ing. The sky very clear. On wood. The trees rather dark, but
the whole of great charm and careful painting.

2. A very small landscape. On the right a rock between trees,
on the left a piece of water. On wood. A rather dark but very
attractive picture.

Aetus van dee Neee.—The moon is seen rather high in the
heavens, and over a canal, on which are various fishing-boats. In
the distance, on both shores, are buildings. Signed. On wood.
A small but charming picture of the best time of the master.

Nicolas Poussnsr.—A large landscape with Orpheus and
Eurydice bitten by the asp. A" composition differing both in
landscape and figures from the well-known picture in the Louvre,
and not less fine. In respect of grandeur and melancholy of feeling,
nobility of lines, and general tone, this picture is closely allied to
the admirable landscape with Diogenes and the cup in the Louvre.
Gleams of sun are seen piercing the beautiful clouds.

tiie galleey.

Innocenzo da Imola.—The Virgin and Child, Joseph and the
little St. John. A genuine but moderate example of this often
repeated composition by him.

Daniel Mytens.—Charles L and Henrietta Maria, with a grey
horse held by a negro, and some favourite dogs. Full-length
