 in GERARD DOU cap. In the right background is an easel protected by a sunshade. On a table near it is a globe. In the left background is a pillar. Signed on a paper fastened on the window-sill, in Gothic letters, " G. Dou, Leyde . . ., aetatis . . . " ; panel, 9 J inches by 1 1 inches. A copy, dated "Leydcn, 1672," is in the Schloss, Niirnberg, according to a note (see M. 1100). Described by Parthey, 1863, No. 77; Waagen, Kunstdenkm'dkr in Wien, 1866, i. 304 ; Moes, Iconographia Batava, 2096, No. 20. Sale. (Possibly) Von Billow, Copenhagen, 1826, inscribed "G. Dou, Leyden, 1652, astatis 39" (see O. Granberg, i. 276, and Moes, 2096, No. 5). The Czernin collection was formed (according to Waagen) by the father of the Count, whom he knew, and who was already an elderly man in 1839. It is uncertain, therefore, whether the elder Czernin bought the Billow picture. If he did, then he did not buy another portrait at the sale, J. Hickman, London, March 20, 1847, as Moes and Martin think. The Billow picture may be a copy of the Czernin picture, which was probably dated 1652. Possibly the Czernin picture is identical with 284.
