 xvm CASPAR NETSCHER 149 Netscher's genre-pieces, not unsuccessfully. John Smith, the author's predecessor in this work, mentions (Vol. IX. Supplement, p. 547) an Englishman, S. Brown. He had seen in the collection of the Duke of Beaufort a "very clever portrait" by this artist, signed and dated 1685, which clearly showed that the painter had been a pupil or imitator of Netscher. The author has never seen a picture by this Brown. TRANSLATOR'S NOTE In the references added to the entries in the Catalogue " Sm." = Smith, "Catalogue Raisonne," vol. iv. (1833). "Sm.
