tory of the famous “ Chapeau de Paille ” is interesting. There is a
tradition that Rubens fell in love with the subject of the picture
while painting it, and would never part with it. After the death
of the widow of Rubens it came into the possession of the Lun-
den family, and in the year 1817 was sold by one of the heirs of
