 xvin CASPAR NETSCHER 205 costume with a blue cloak over the right arm. In the background to the right is a statue of Mercury ; to the left is a garden with a statue of Flora, beside which is a pot of flowers. The description of this as a portrait of the painter is uncertain. Signed in full, and dated 1678 ; canvas, 19^ inches by 16 inches. In the collection of Comte Baudouin, Paris. In the Hermitage Palace, St. Petersburg, 1901 catalogue, No. 883. 162. CASPAR NETSCHER WITH HIS WIFE AND A CHILD AT A WINDOW. On the right stands the woman, turned slightly to the left. She wears a dress cut low at the neck with a silk shawl over her left shoulder. To the left, on the window-sill in front of her, sits the child, turning its head to the spectator, and holding an apple in its right hand. Behind the child stands the father, of whom little more is seen than his head turned slightly to the right. In front, below the figures, is the window with a relief of childish figures below it.
