68 PKOCEEDINGS OF THE 



Archbishop von Troil commissioned LaurenzPascb, the younger, 

 to paint for him a portrait of Linne. He copied the Roslin in 

 the Academy, but made his painting a three-quarters length. 

 Linne is seated at a table on which his left hand rests holding a 

 plant of Linncea, which is left out from bis coat. The right hand 

 rests on his knee. This painting was presented by the Archbishop 

 to Sir Joseph Banks in acknowledgment of certain civilities 

 shown by Sir Joseph to his son. It was bequeathed to Robert 

 Brown, who presented it to theLinnean Society in 1853 ; it now 

 hangs in the Library. While it carefully reproduces the likeness 

 by Eoslin, the additions Miiich Pasch has made converts Hoslin's 

 portrait into a fine picture, and in it the Society possesses the 

 most beautiful memorial of the illustrious naturalist whose name it 

 bears. 



The Society has in its possession another painting from the 

 Eoslin portrait, presented to the Society in 1814 by Joseph Sabine, 

 one of the original Fellows of the Society. Por many years it 

 hung in the meeting-room behind the President's chair, but has 

 been displaced by the reproduction of the KrafPt portrait recently 

 presented to the Society. This portrait has no claim to be original. 

 Nothing is known of its history before it came into the possession 

 of the Society. It is without doubt a reproduction in oil of Bervie's 

 or Alix's engraving from Eoslin's painting.
