 Very unufual *, 



I obferved about Byrom much Tandy land, 



which 



rally diffufed : I mould iuppoie it of the 



fchool of Carracb. 

 Its companion. A figure pra) ing, vile drapery; 



but the reft fine. 

 Lord Irwin. Very good. 

 A group of dancing boys. Finifhed with a 



glow and brilliancy beyond expreflion. The 



attitudes cxquiiite : The colours aftonifhingly 



fine-, tlie landicape beautiful ; bat the lights 



ftrano;elv diffufed. 

 Diana, in two pieces. Ciumiy as ever Rul 



painted. 

 Portrait of Sir Arthur Ingram. Good ; but a 



wretched attitude. 

 A fruit-piece. Fine. 

 'jtfmall pi dure of many figures. It fomewhat 



refembles the manner both of Borgognone and 



Baffan ; fine. 

 Its companion, a woman riding. Quite Dutch 



ideas,, figures and drapery. 

 Cattle-piece (over the library door).. Fine. 

 Architecture (under the large fea-piece). Very 



fine and bold. 



The library is a very handfome room, divided 

 by Corinthian pillars. It is 24 fquare. In the 

 chapel is an altar-piece, fomewhat curious : A 

 lift fupper. The figure of Chriji has the coun- 

 tenance of a clown-, the group is wretched; 

 one of the apoftles is in a tye-wig, and another's 

 hur would do exceedingly well ror a bag.
