ve just the note needed tobring the composition together. From the Shandon collection. No. 16.SIR ANTHONY VAN DYCK. i599—MAX,The Earl of Arundel. Height, 46 inches. Width, 37 inches. Van DYCK, the elegant, suave, distinguished Fleming,court painter to Charles I., the fashionable favorite and theadmired among his brother artists of all times, never toucheda canvas without leaving the ineffaceable marks of his genius.This portrait of the Earl of Arundel represents a patrician,intellectual man of middle life, clad in black, with white ruffand cuffs, standing against a background of gray wall open-ing out to a landscape seen at the right. On the lefthand is a glove half on, while the hand is outstretched.The face is that of an individual of mental attainments, andthe work is enveloped in a soft, harmonious atmosphere, mostengaging in its artistic qualities. It is also brushed inwith authority, with masterly touch and exceeding knowl-edge. Now in the collection of Mr. B. L. Cable. >CK

No. 17.JAKOB JORDAENS. J593—1678. Portrait of Helena Fourment, Second Wife ofRubens. Height, 28 inches. Width, 23 inches. Friend and fellow-student with Rubens, Jordaens washelped by his brilliant friend, who obtained for him manycommissions. He had for patrons the King of Sweden andPrincess Amelia of Orange. He also painted a series of car-toons for the King of Spain from the designs by Rubens.This portrait of his friends wife, the beautiful Helena Four-ment, surely does justice to the lady whom Rubens marriedwhen he was fifty-three years old, and who it may be saidwas the daughter of his first wifes sister—a girl of but six-teen. Jordaens portrait, however, represents her at a moremature age, though still beautiful, and her ample figure, withits charm of poise, its freshness, and womanly dignity, hasfurnished unquestioned inspiration. The rendition is refined,the color delicate and harmonious, and the brush-work expres-sive. Her hair, dark as her black dress, falls in wavy masse
