cot-land. Frank, direct, and comprehensive, all his portraitspossess an individuality that gives them distinction. Thesubject of this effort is a lady dressed simply in white,painted out of doors against a tree, with a landscape behind.It is engaging in the brush-work, good in color, and treatedwith dignified simplicity. No. 46.CHRISTOPH AMBERGER. 1490—*563.Portrait of a Nobleman. Height, 16 inches. Width, 13 inches. CLOSELY resembling the work of Holbein, the pictures ofArnberger are not infrequently confused with those of theformer. This interesting portrait is a remarkable specimenof finish and detail. It is of a sober-faced Nuremberg pa-trician with thoughtful features, full beard, and broad shoul-ders. Upon his head is a beret of black velvet, with embroi-dered ornaments and jewels. The coat is trimmed with fur,and beneath its black folds is seen the white linen of theshirt. The background is of light-yellowish gray. Now in the collection of Mr. Stanford White* .ISTOPH AMBER.:.

PORTRAIT 0 No. 47.JAKOB JORDAENS- 1593—1678.Portrait of Madame Teniers, Height, 26 inches. Width, 20 inches. THE wife of David Teniers is the subject of this picture.She was but seventeen at the time of her marriage, and thispicture is taken but little later, when she was in the full flushof her exquisite girlish beauty. This the painter has caughtadmirably, depicting her freshness and charm with unerringdirectness. She is dressed in an evening gown of red edgedwith lace; she wears on her head a jaunty hat with trailingplumes on her curling blond hair, and about her neck arepearls. A yellow mantle falls from her shoulder. It was noa distinguished judge of good art than the great Rubenswho placed the seal of approval on the work of Jordaensand was instrumental in securing for him many commissions,among others a series of cartoons for the King of Spain.Both men had been fellow-students, and Rubens but echoedthe general opinion of the talents of his confrere.
