 The greatest interest had been aroused | 
 ‘by Mrs. Hollins’s collection of mezzc-— 
 tints and eéarly stipple engravings sold_ 
 in the evening session. These included 
 some of a quality and rarity seldom seen. 
 in America, and the English market hay-. 
 jing practically closed for this class of 
 print much speculation had arisen 
 whether old records and values would: 
 persist. The prices given, however, com- | 
 pared well with old records, and the re-. 
 Sult is said to have been satisfactory. | 
 Two. stipple engravings by Bartolozzi 
 ' brought respectively £410 and $105, paid 
 
 by Messrs. Scott, Fowles & Co., and Mr. | 
 J.. F. Drake. These were a proof before

 lection and the Hon, Ann Bingham after 
 Reynolds. Messrs. Scott, Fowles & Co. 
 paid $185 for a proof of Samuel Cousins’ 
 mezzotint portrait of Robert Burns. This

 | scription by Robert Burns’ wife (Jean 
 Armour) and his son, Colonel J. G. Burns. 
 The same biiyer paid $1900 for the mez- 
 zotint of “Mrs. Pelham feeding chick- 
 ens,” engraved by W. Dickinson in 1775 
 after Sir Joshua Reynolds. Messrs. 
 Knoedler paid $650 for Mrs. Elizabeth 
 Taylor, by W. Dickinson after Reynolds, 
 an unfinished proof; Scott, Fowles & Co. 
 gave $230 for a second state of Viscountess 
 Crosbie, also by Dickinson after Rey- 
 nolds. A mezzotint by Dickinson after 
 Gardner, of Goldsmith’s “Jessamy Bride” 
 and “Little Comedy,” known in private 
 life as Mrs. Gwynne and Mrs. Bunbury 
 | after some competition went to Scott, 
 | Fowles & Co. for $350. The famous fight 
 | between Oliver Goldsmith and Hvans, 
 where the combatants fought all over 
 the bookseller’s shop and broke a lamp 
 over one another, bespattering them with 
 | oil, was caused by Kenrick writing dis-.

 PORTRAIT OF PIERRE DE BERULLE. 
 
 The subject shows a brown-eyed man in long curled wig, who gazes 
 directly at the observer; about his shoulders is gathered a red mantle in 
 voluminous folds, which fall away at the neck to show his lace shirt-front. 
 
 Rigaud, who professed to be a follower of Van Dyck, was an able and 
 industrious portrait painter, who, although he produced from thirty to 
 forty portraits a year, would have no assistants, but painted all the acces- 
 sories himself during the sixty-two years of his career. During that time 
 he painted five kings and all the French princes, as well as most of the dis- 
 tinguished men of his time.

 SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE 
 English Painter, 1769-1830 
 
 PORTRAIT OF MASTER PETERS. 
 4 The brown eyes of the fresh-faced English lad look directly at the 
 
 spectator, his cheeks aglow with health; a white collar shows above his 
 
 dark coat, with a voluminous ribbon bow in front; his brown hair falls 
 carelessly over his forehead. Lawrence loved to paint children and was 
 successful in catching the questioning wonder and innocence of their 
 young lives, as this canvas ably testifies.

 Thomas Lawrence, with whom he later quarrelled, shows the beautiful

 This long curving stretch of the Grand Canal shows the white marble 
 facade of a church at the right, and a dome and Greek portico of another 
 at the left. In the foreground a number of gondolas with figures are seen 
 passing, while a blue sky arches overhead. Canaletto occupied himself 
 in producing views of Venice exclusively, which for their truth and their 
 extraordinary effect and perspective met with immense success and are 
 still highly esteemed. The figures in his pictures were invariably added 
 by Tiepolo.

 English Painter, 1759-1810 
 
 PORTRAIT OF A LADY. 
 
 A young woman is seen at half length, wearing an Empire dress of 
 white, low in the neck, with a brooch in the corsage. Across the right 
 shoulder falls a yellow scarf trimmed with fringe. Her brown hair is 
 arranged in a braid across the top of her head, from which short curls escape 
 about her brows. A low-toned landscape fills the background. 
 
 At thirty years of age, Hoppner was court painter to the Prince of 
 Wales, and devoting himself to portraits, soon became the rival of Lawrence. 
 He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy where, until 1797, the rule 
 was in vogue that none but royalties could be designated by name, others 
 being simply entitled “Portrait of a Lady” or “ Portrait of a Gentleman,” 
 making identification difficult. He was most successful in his portraits 
 of ladies and children.

 This portrait of a handsome woman shows the seated figure at half 
 length, the head raised with eyes directed upward. She wears a brown 
 robe crossing in front over a white chemisette and held at the waist by a

 of George III, when 30 years of age. She died in 1807, and was buried in 
 Saint George’s Chapel, Windsor. She was said to have been, originally, 
 a milliner’s apprentice, at Durham. Her uncle, Horace Walpole, said 
 of her: ‘She was very pious, charitable, sincere, frank and friendly, but warm 
 and resentful. Her sense strong, her wit ready and very pointed.”

 Watteau and Boucher, he attained celebrity as a painter of rustic scenes 
 and Fétes Galantes, and was attached to the Royal Manufactures of Tap- 
 estry of Gobelins and Beauvais. He was appointed court painter in 1794.
