y the nobility and fashion of his time, theYounger Pourbus has left many portraits of the illustriouspersonages of the day. The skill of the famous painter of Flanders is no less evi-dent in the still life of this portrait than in his treatment ofthe flesh and the modelling of his sitters high-born features,for in the rendition of the ruff that surrounds the neck ofthe subject he has performed wonders, keeping to a remark-able simplicity and yet missing no detail of the elaborationof needlework and embroidery. The color, too, of this pieceof feminine adornment, by no means an easy problem in white,is maintained with truth in the lights and shadows mostfaithfully. The lady wears her hair in a series of waves, andin her ears are large pearls. A long necklace is festoonedabout her neck, and falls over a gown of costly stuff, on whichis fastened a brooch. The face, not less thoughtfullypainted, is smiling, bright, and attractive. Now belonging to Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston. FRANS POUKBUS.
