 J. Smith, in his Catalogue Raisonne, Supplement, page 697, 
 N° 47, described this picture as follows : — 
 
 " The scene exhibits a hilly country, with a fall of water on 
 either side; that on the right is supplied by a stream which flows 
 between high banks, and under a rustic bridge ; the other stream 
 is divided by a rocky elevation, and the fall is feeble. The waters 
 of both falls mingle in eddies on the front ground. The second dis- 
 tance is diversified with flax and other fields, beyond which is a 
 lofty hill, whose sides are thickly studded with young oak-trees and 
 bushes, which conceal in part several cottages ; but of these the 
 nearest stands at the base of the hill, and is entirely seen. The 
 summit of a snow-capped mountain is visible above the woody hill. 
 A man and a woman in conversation are on the bridge, and 
 another man with a wallet on his shoulder, is approaching from 
 the left. The appearance is that of a fine day. This is a care- 
 fully wrought work of the master. "

 round a carriage occupied by women. Further to the left are two

 Further behind are some more cattle dispersed on the plains, and

 This beautiful production presents a scene near the church or 
 Dordrecht. The right part is overshadowed by big trees, near

 dings. In the foreground, on the left, a boat is occupied by three 
 men and a dog, transporting some merchandise. One of the men 
 in a red jacket is rowing. Nearby a signal-pole is visible, and an 
 empty cask attached to a post is swimming. In the distance are 
 several sailing-boats and a little boat occupied by several men. A

 scene.

 to be successful in repulsing the enemy. Some of the infantry has 
 boarded several boats on both sides of the bridge and the men enter- 
 tain a lively shooting at the enemy. A cavalier and his horse have 
 fallen into the river, and others nearby seem to be injured. A sol-

 Dr. Hofstede de Groot in his " Catalogue Raisonne"', Vol. II,

 " At the door of a picturesque inn on a river-bank, some hunts- 
 men have halted. One man has dismounted from a piebald horse 
 with a purple saddle and holds his bridle while he drinks from a 
 stoneware jug. Another man on a dark-grey horse offers a glass 
 of wine to a young lady on a grey horse. A page holds the dogs in 
 leash. The maid-servant rejects a man's embraces. An old coun- 
 try-woman carries a basket. Hens are picking near empty casks. 
 Behind the inn-wall are the trees of a park. On the right comes a 
 horseman leading a horse that carries the dead stag. A huntsman 
 with a gun waters his dappled horse at the stream, which is crossed 
 by a bridge in the middle-distance. An example of the master's 
 maturity; it is light-grey in tone. "

 a stone balustrade, holding his hat and cane in his hands ; the youn- 
 gest child sits near him, and a fine greyhound stands by : in the 
 opposite side is the lady, attired in a black silk gown, and a skarlet 
 skirt, seated, taking a flower from a basket, which is presented by 
 the second daughter; the eldest, a young woman, stands on the 
 mother's left, playing on a guitar. A little retired, and in the centre 
 of the scene, is a negro page, holding a fine grey horse, a portion 
 of which is concealed by trees. This is an admirable example of 
 the master. "

RUBENS (Petrus Paulus) 
 (Siegen 1077 — 1640 Antwerp) 
 
 90. The Woman taken in Adultery* 
 
 The woman is led before Christ, surrounded by rabbis, soldiers 
 and onlookers. 
 
 This painting seems to be the first idea of the master for a 
 similar composition, which is in the Brussels Museum. 
 
 Mr. Max Rooses, the author of the work on RUBENS and 
 his ceuvre, describes this painting- in the u Annates of the Official 
 Commission of the City of Antwerp", Vol. V, 4th part, pages 291/2, 
 N° 266 bis, and states : 
 
 :t .... This second example is entirely by the hand of Rubens, 
 but it is less finished than the preceding one (the Brussels picture). 
 Rubens has left his ceuvre without putting on the last touches. The 
 head of Christ is of a firm fact ure with shades of a feeble-grey colour. 
 The beard and the hair are broadly brushed with golden tones in the 
 light-brown parts. The robe is of an eclatant red in warm tones, 
 and the drapery, which covers it, of a light greenish colour with 
 transparent shades. The old man with the bald head has a white 
 beard and the light carnation is well wrought. The woman is painted 
 more lightly, with a robe of a dark-green, with a strong orange- 
 colour reflex which is very luminous. The priest with the red cap 
 and the ermine collar on his robe, is quickly brushed ; he is fat and 
 massive with black spots on his face of displeasing appearance. The 
 great-priest with the hebrew characters 011 his bonnet, has his eyes 
 widely open, and wears a blue drapery and a pelerine of golden 
 colour, better wrought. There are two figures on the extreme right 
 which are seen in profile, two figures between the woman and the 
 priest in the red robe, of whom only the heads are seen. Two youths 
 100k on the scene. These six figures are broadly brushed with 
 blackish hues. Behind Christ, another head. Thirteen figures in all. 
 
 The colouring is excellent, and vividly luminous on the figures 
 in the foreground. The facture is more free than that of the paint- 
 ing of 16 12 (in Brussels): the colour is really eclatant in the heads 
 of the two priests ; the figures of the second distance are painted in a 
 beautiful golden tint. "

 This sketch is one of a series of sketches which Rubens has 
 prepared upon an order received from King Charles [., to paint a 
 picture alluding to the prosperity and good government of King 
 James I. This sketch, entirely by the hand of Rubens, presents 
 two female figures personifying Peace and Abundance, who are 
 painted in the large picture, forming the ceiling of the Chapel of 
 Whitehall, in London, in the second centre compartment. 
 
 They are embracing and between them is a horn of plenty. 
 The figure on the right wears a robe of a rose colour, and the other 
 has a golden drapery. Both have light-blond hair. In the

 102. - Portrait of Donna Polyxena 
 
 Spinola, Wife of Marquis Leganes* 
 
 She is seated in an armchair, slightly turned to the left, looking 
 at the spectator. Round her neck is a broad ruffcollar. Her robe, 
 of various black shades with brocate designs, is most remarkable. 
 From her neck hangs a golden cross, adorned with precious stones, 
 and a row of golden buttons is seen on the whole length of the robe, 
 and others on the shoulders. A thick gold-chain hangs down from 
 the right shoulder towards the right arm. The hands rest on the 
 arms of the fauteuil. The marble-wall with columns is covered on 
 the right with a brownish-yellow carpet, adorned with ornamental 
 designs. The face expresses calmness and dignity. The young 
 lady is about 17 years old and must have been painted by the Master 
 just before her marriage, which has taken place in Genoa, according 
 to a letter written by P. P. Rubens to his friend, Pierre Dupuy, 
 dated March 23, 1628, stating that the Marquis de Leganes has 
 married the daughter of Ambrosius Spinola, Polyxena, on the last 
 day of February of that year. 
 
 The painting has been probably brought from Italy by the 
 Baron von Spaen to the Chateau Moyland, near Cleve, which he 
 has purchased from Philip de Croy in 1662. Baron de Spaen sold 
 the Chateau, with all the contents — rhis portrait being specially 
 mentioned in the inventory — to the Prince-Elector of Brandenburg, 
 Frederik III. Finally the Chateau was resold in 1767 by the King 
 of Prussia, Frederik II, to the Baron Adrlaan van Steengracht r 
 whose family conserved it up to the present.

 In the middle of the picture the Virgin, robed in scarlet and 
 blue, with a white veil over her head, is enthroned, facing the spec- 
 tator, on a lofty pedestal, holding on her left the Infant Christ, who 
 is nude and holds a rosary with medal attached. The pedestal is

 medaillons painted, in proper colours, with scenes from the life of 
 Christ, corresponding to the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary. To 
 right stands St. Domenic facing the spectator dressed in the habit of 
 his order, a star above his head, his right foot resting on a blue 
 globe; in his left hand he holds a lily, in his right a large book which 
 rests on the pedestal of the throne; his face is turned upwards 
 towards the centre group. To left kneels S. -Hyacinth, with his 
 back to the spectator; he also gazes upwards; his right hand holds

 clouds and drapery, amongst which, to the left, is a cherub. " 
 
 " The device of decorating the hanging on the pedestal with 
 medaillons containing representations of the fifteen Mysteries of the 
 Rosary recalls a picture by Lorenzo Lotto in San Domenico at 
 Cingoli, in which the same scenes appear in circles above the head 
 of the Virgin. "
