CHAPEAU DE PAILLE (i.e. Poil—The Beaver Hat), Rubens, National Gallery, London; wood, H. 2 ft. 6 in. × 1 ft. 9 in. Portrait of a young lady (Mdlle. Lunden?), half-length, life-size, dressed in a black velvet bodice with crimson sleeves, and wearing a black Spanish beaver hat with black and white feathers, holding her hands crossed before her. The hat casts a shadow over the upper part of the face, giving the painter an opportunity of showing his skill in treating transparent shadow. From this it was formerly called in Belgium Het Spaansch Hoedje (The Spanish Hat). It was in Rubens's possession until his death (1640); at death of his widow passed to family of Lunden, from whom bought (1817) by Baron Stiers d'Aertselaer for 50,000 florins; sold at his death (1822) for 32,700 florins, and taken to England, where it was purchased for £3,500 by Sir Robert Peel, from whose Collection it passed in 1871 to National Gallery. Engraved by Tayler; Reynolds.—Smith, ii. 32, 228; Kett, 110; Waagen, Treasures, i. 398.
