JOHAN VAN CROMBRUGGE ( -1683). Three- quarter length, standing, in full face. He has a slight moustache and long curly hair. He looks at the spectator. He wears a loose brown robe, with a long white neckcloth. He rests his right hand on a table covered with a Turkey carpet, upon which lie a closed book inscribed " Memoriae Anno 1676," letters and writing materials. With the left hand he gives a letter to a man-servant, who comes forward with a dog. The servant has long hair, wears a dark costume with a white neckcloth, and holds his hat under his left arm. Above to the left a curtain is drawn back. In the left background is a map of Scandinavia and part of Russia. To the right is a wide arched door, giving a view of an anteroom. The brushwork is characteristic. [Pendant to 163.] Signed in full on the edge of the book, and dated 1677 ; panel, 13 inches by io inches. See Moes, Iconographia Batava, No. 1814. Sales. J.

This picture and the pendant (133) impress one as being in every respect unquestionably authentic works by Slingeland. The date 1653 although it does not occasion doubts is very remarkable, however, in that the painter was then only twelve or thirteen years of age and that no other dated works from his hand, of this early period, are known. Signed in full on the left, and dated " Aetatis 47 . 1653 " on the right ; oval panel, 5 inches by 4^ inches. See Moes, Iconographia Batava, No. 3806.
