  • 1815.07.06/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Portrait of a Child This is a most admirable specimen of that deep toned brightness, which Sir Joshua Reynolds prized so much, in the works of this great master. It is painted at the latter period of his second man-manner, and in depth and richness of colouring, in simplicity of composition, and in sweetness of pencilling, may vie with any of his works (Titian)|Portrait of a Child This is a most admirable specimen of that deep toned brightness, which Sir Joshua Reynolds prized so much, in the works of this great master.

  • 1815.07.06/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Pretended Alchymists This admirable picture represents a peasant, who has been persuaded by sharpers to believe that they have the power of converting all metals into gold; and who has obtained all his wife's silver ornaments for the purpose of their immediate conversion to the more precious metal: the woman, less credulous, stands weeping by him. The heads are marked with all that knowledge of character, which induced Sir Joshua Reynolds to place Jan Steen at the head of this class of painters; and the colouring is more rich and harmonious than is to be found in any, except a very few of his finest works (Jan Steen)|The Pretended Alchymists This admirable picture represents a peasant, who has been persuaded by sharpers to believe that they have the power of converting all metals into gold; and who has obtained all his wife's silver ornaments for the purpose of their immediate conversion to the more precious metal: the woman, less credulous, stands weeping by him.

  • 1815.07.06/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Bacchanalians This is a duplicate of the most celebrated picture by this master, which formed a part of the Houghton collection: the composition is the same, but the characters and expression of the heads, the sky and the foliage, are entirely different; the back ground is altogether darker, and the figures have a more bold and vigorous relief. It is probable that all these alterations were made by this great artist, to give each of the pictures a sufficient degree of originality; and they may be justly considered as of equal value (Rubens)|Bacchanalians This is a duplicate of the most celebrated picture by this master, which formed a part of the Houghton collection: the composition is the same, but the characters and expression of the heads, the sky and the foliage, are entirely different; the back ground is altogether darker, and the figures have a more bold and vigorous relief.

  • 1815.07.06/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Raising of Lazarus This great work may unquestionably be considered as one of the finest productions of the Venetian school, whether it be considered with respect to the variety of the heads, the boldly original character of the composition, the highly and most artful distribution of the light and shadow, or the exquisite and incomparable variety of the rich but sober colouring. In all these excellencies it is absolutely perfect, and may safely challenge a competition with any work of any master. It is in the finest preservation, and has recently been cleared from the accumulated dirt and varnish of very many years, by Mr. Westall himself, with all that elaborate and patient care which so valuable an acquisition demanded (Tintoretto)|The Raising of Lazarus This great work may unquestionably be considered as one of the finest productions of the Venetian school, whether it be considered with respect to the variety of the heads, the boldly original character of the composition, the highly and most artful distribution of the light and shadow, or the exquisite and incomparable variety of the rich but sober colouring.
