 450 GERARD DOU SECT. is seen in an imitation of a stone framework. He is about ten years of age, and has long flaxen hair. Panel, 5| inches by inches. See Oud Holland (xi. 2 1 3).

PORTRAIT OF A BOY. Sm. 12, 20, and Suppl. 7 ; M. 125. A half-length of a boy who is between thirteen and fifteen. He faces three-quarters right. His long fair hair falls on his shoulders. He wears a dark brown velvet cap with red and white feathers, a white collar, and a vest buttoned up to the neck. It is not a portrait of the painter, as Moes (2096, No. 10) and Martin suggest, since it dates from Dou's maturity. The picture has been damaged and afterwards restored, but it is still a good work. Panel, 7 inches by 5^ inches, originally oval, but enlarged by the artist himself and now rectangular. [Pendant to 85^.] Exhibited at The Hague, 1881, No. 116. In the collection of Willem Lormier, The Hague, 1752 (Hoet, ii. 421). Sales. W. Lormier, The Hague, July 4, 1763, No. 66 (400 florins).

The picture of the sale, Da Costa, The Hague, August 13, 1764, No. 22 (100 florins, see Hoet, ii. 468), agrees in subject and dimensions with the above, but does not fit into its auction pedigree. M. doubtfully identifies the Da Costa picture with the Cambridge portrait (336), which is smaller.] 338/7. Head of a Youth. M. 152. In profile to the right. It is too weak.
