  • 1835.04.08/ maison de ventes : Littledale. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Landscape, with Architecture. Most probably one of the scenes near Rome, which this artist studiously painted after nature.

  • 1835.04.08/ maison de ventes : Littledale. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Interior of a Cathedral. A matchless specimen of this Painter's admirable skill in perspective, of his delicate touch, and of his singular judgment in the opposition of lights and shadows. In the front of the picture is a chapel, in which the service of the mass is being performed, and numerous persons are kneeling at prayer. Turning from this part of the scene the eye ranges through a long drawn and dimly lighted aisle, and rests at last upon the grand altar in the distance, which is brilliantly illuminated. A striking effect is produced by the feeble light of a lamp between two columns just sufficient to discover the objects for a little space around it, but failing to overcome the general gloom. The figures are painted by Teniers. The name of Neefs is inscribed on the picture, which has been exhibited at the R.I.I. (Peter Neefs)|Interior of a Cathedral.

  • 1835.04.08/ maison de ventes : Littledale. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Peasant Girl. In the Dulwich Gallery there is a picture, the same in subject, though different in colouring, which has always passed by the name of Rembrandt. It would be presumptuous to say that it is a copy of the present one, which, on the other hand, if not the prototype, displays rather the hand of a rival than of a copyist. No judge, who has carefully examined and compared both pictures, could affirm that the one at Dulwich is superior in any respect to that at present under consideration. Indeed, all who have seen the latter have with confidence pronounced it to be a Murillo, and none have refused it the praise of richer and more glowing colour. The positive merits of the picture are left to speak for themselves (Murillo)|A Peasant Girl.

  • 1835.04.08/ maison de ventes : Littledale. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[View of the Church of San Giorgio in Venice. Few collections can boast of so charming a specimen of Canaletto's magic power. He has transferred to canvas most of the interesting scenes of Venice with an accuracy of perspective which gives to each of his delineations the illusive effect of a dioramic view. He is not less faithful in the picture before us in representing the clear atmosphere and the crystal waters of that fair city; and the feluccas and gondolas which are seen here and there, seem, indeed, floating and moving over the waves of the blue Adriatic.

  • 1835.04.08/ maison de ventes : Littledale. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Holy Family. A charming picture, in the painter's soft and Correggiesque manner. It is impossible not to direct attention to the radiant beauty of the infant Saviour, and the graceful disposition of the Virgin, holding him on her knee, and receiving a cross from the hand of the child, St. John, who kneels before her.

  • 1835.04.08/ maison de ventes : Littledale. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Healing of the Issue of Blood. The moment chosen by the painter is that at which Christ, having turned round, and discovered the woman who had touched the hem of his garment, is pronouncing the words -- "Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace." Luke viii. 48. The attitude of the principal figure is finely imagined, and the warm tone of the picture plainly tells from whose hand it came. It has been exhibited at the R.I.I.
