PORTRAIT OF A MAN. B. 149 ; M. 93. Said to be a portrait of the artist, but the date makes this impossible. The background is light-blue below and yellowish-grey above. [Pendant to 386.] Inscribed, "aetat suae 66 (and under this) anno 1628 " ; circular panel, 8 inches in diameter. Mentioned by Waagen, Suppl. 354. Exhibited at the Royal Academy Winter Exhibition, London, 1876, No. 209. In the collection of the Earl of Radnor, Longford Castle, 1898 catalogue, No. 21. 293. Portrait of a Marksman. B. 151 (?) ; M. 139. He wears a light-blue sash and a black hat. His right hand grasps a stick ; his left rests on the back of a chair. On the right is a coat-of-arms : quarterly, (i) gules, a lion winged (?) or ; (2) argent, a St. Andrew's cross gules amid four birds sable ; (3) argent, three wild boars' heads ; (4) argent (?), fleurs de lis or. The crest is a winged lion. It is doubtful whether the picture is by Frans Hals or by De Bray. The colouring and lighting are restless and laboured in arrangement. Yet Hals' authorship is more probable. [Possibly identical with Bode, 151, which is described as a half-length, dating about 1660.] Mentioned by Waagen (iii. 262) as a portrait of a Dutch general.
