  • 1832.05.19/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Portrait of a Tenor Player -- This artist was a pupil of Gerard Douw, and called by him the "Prince of his Disciples." The cotemporary of Jan Steen and the pupil of Gerard Douw, his works were more highly esteemed that either of theirs, for the force and truth of his composition, and the greater animation and clearness of his colouring. The countenance of the musician, who appears to accompany the tones of his instrument by his voice, is full of a joyous and intellectual expression, characteristic of the habits of the travelling minstrels of former days. Nothing in art can exceed the exquisite finish, and the clear and brilliant tone of the colouring of this charming morceau, which is evidently an emanation from the meridian power of the painter. (F.

  • 1832.05.19/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Guard House in the Netherlands -- The period during which this painter flourished was signalised by the last struggles for the Spanish monarchy to maintain its dominion over the low countries. This picture, therefore, of scenes and characters which the artist has pourtrayed from the life, as marking an epoch in history, possesses an interest beyond its mere pictorial arrangement. The grey light beyond the city gates gives morning as the period of the day. A group of seven principal figures, some of whom are in military costume, occupy the guard house, variously engaged in smoking, talking, or playing. Steel corslets, military saddles, and implements of war, are strewed in "most admired disorder" upon the ground, whilst one entire, tenantless, suit of armour stands erect in gloomy contrast, ready probably to encase the owner upon an emergency. Groups of militaires appear in the distance and middle ground. The sharpness and precision of pencil, the transparent and bright colouring, the natural grouping and diversified character, which are peculiear to this celebrated master, are seen in full perfection in this composition. The date of the performance is 1647. Teniers was then in his 37th year, and in the zenith of his powers. (D.

  • 1832.05.19/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Cattle and Figures in a Landscape -- A small cabinet picture, in the most recherche style of the master. A herdsman reclining upon a sculptured monument, (which places the scene in classic land) recites his tale of love or adventure to the fair partner of his toil, who is seated upon the grass beneath with an infant at her breast. A small and mixed herd, consisting of cows, sheep and goats, enough to give interest by their variety, are pastureing in a sort of domestic harmony in the immediate neighbourhood; an ass is depicted in the back-ground, and in front a dog is seen slaking his thirst at a small rivulet, whilst a frog, which this minute artist has introduced, looks on at the intruder. This gem possesses all the charms of A. Vandevelde's pastoral subjects. In Tenderness of colouring, and a firm but exquisitely minute penciling, the freedom and correct drawing of the figures, and a nice discrimination of light and shade, for all of which this master was unrivalled in his day, the present is a highly favorable specimen. The monogram in the right hand corner marks the date of this production "1667." A. Vandevelde died in 1672. In the thirty-third year of his age. This picture was therefore executed in the maturity of his talent. From the Collection of Sir Thos.

  • 1832.05.19/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Garden Scene -- A Dutch Burgomaster and his friends playing at nine pins in the garden of his chateau. There is a sparkling and magical effect of light and shade about this picture, which bids defiance to rivalry even among the most cherished works of the Dutch School. The figures are admirably disposed, and attired in a picturesque costume, giving an opportunity for great brilliance and gaiety in the local colouring, which adds much to the animation of the scene. The players have selected a shady walk, with formal clipped hedges, and evergreens cut to an obelisk point, on either side, for their pastime. They are presented in perspective. In the rear is the stately mansion, and an agreeable peep into the distance is afforded throught the trunks of a row of trees, which form the garden boundary. The slanting rays of the sun breaking through the openings of the hedge-rows tinge every object with a golden hue. By this means the broad masses of shadow are broken, and a pleasing warmth is diffused through every part of the picture. In point of artistical treatment this piece is a magical production of the master. For depth and richness of colour, and high finish, it is not to be surpassed by anything. The application of a lens will discover the extraordinary minuteness and refinement of touch for which this master was celebrated (De Hooghe)|A Garden Scene -- A Dutch Burgomaster and his friends playing at nine pins in the garden of his chateau.

Jan is supposed to be celebrating his birth-day and appears, according to his known habits, to have sacrificed liberally to the jolly God.
