This collection was purchased for the Art Institute with funds provided by Mrs. Addie M. Hall Ellis, by whose direction it bears the name of Elbridge G. Hall, a citizen of Chicago from 1849 to 1877. In accordance with the wishes of the donor it includes only full-sized fac-similes of original works in sculpture. These re productions occupy rooms 1-5, 8, 10 and 12 in an order approxi mately chronological. They are briefly described on pages 9-78 of this catalogue. See note on page 78. Rooms i and 2. Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Syria, Asia Minor and Early Greece. The art of Asia Minor, including the rock sculpture of the Hittites, was influenced by that of Assyria and Babylonia. The latter nations, in common with Persia, owed their art to the Chal deans, at the head of the Persian Gulf. Farther back this great art movement cannot now be traced. But few remains of Chaldean art proper have come down to us, and its development in Babylonia was restricted by the scarcity of suitable material for sculpture. But its growth in Persia and Assyria, under more favorable conditions, was wonderfully luxu riant. Assyria took the lead in its propagation, carrying it west- I o The A rt Institute of Chicago . ward through Syria and Asia Minor. Egypt was also an indepen dent worker in the same field, and the influence of Greece, still archaic, was felt there. But the drift of all the living art west of India in those days was towards Greece itself, where, from the heterogeneous material thus acquired, was evolved a new and rational sculpture in which it is now difficult to find a trace of the original ingredients. Such traces were plain enough, however, before Greek sculpture reached its highest development. See for example the Assyrian anatomy in No. 29, p. 25. EGYPT.

C EGYPTIAN SCULPTURE— ALL IN ROOM I. 1. Three Panels from the Tomb of Hesi, at Sakkara. The originals, in the museum of Cairo, are of wood. On each one is carved in low relief a figure of Hesi, with hieroglyphic inscription. These figures differ in details. The inscriptions also vary. Older, perhaps, than the IV dynasty. 2. The Sheikh-el-Beled (Chief of the Village). From a figure of locust wood in the museum of Cairo, found in the tomb of Ra-em-ke at Sakkara, Egypt, by Arabs, who gave it the above title in consequence of its resemblance to their chief magistrate. The oldest well-preserved wooden portrait statue known. Memphite period, latter part of IV dynasty. Casts of Ancient Sculpture, Hall Collection. 1 1 3. Scenes of Rural Life. From painted limestone carvings in the tomb of Ti, a royal architect, at Sakkara. The tomb was discovered and excavated by Mariette in the early fifties, and restored by the Egyptian Vice-Regal Department of An tiquities. It dates from the V dynasty. 4. King Khafre (Chephren), builder of the second pyramid of Gizeh. The original, of variegated diorite, now in the mu seum of Cairo, was found in a well of the temple excavated by Mariette near the Sphinx at Gizeh. Khafre was of the IV dy nasty, nearly 3000 B. C. 5. King Ra-en-Woser, Usr-en-RS, or Weser-en-Re (An). From a red granite sitting statuette in the museum of Cairo. 6. Sphinx, with the body of a lion couchant, and a human head representing an Egyptian king. Fore legs stretched out straight in front and hind legs doubled under body. Tail curled around right haunch. The original, of black granite, in the museum of Cairo, was discovered by Mariette at Tanis, in the delta of the Nile, in 1861. On the chest is the cartouche of P'seb-Khanu I (Pesibkhenno) of the XXI dynasty; but this is a substitution for an earlier cartouche which has been chiseled out. Nor was P'seb-Khanu the only usurper of this monument. He was preceded by Merenptah Amenptah, (XIX dynasty), who substituted his cartouche for that of Apepi (XVII dynasty), who may have been also a usurper of monumental advertising privileges. Such confusion of history was extensively practiced by Egyptian kings. Erman thinks that this sphinx arid similar monuments may have originated in a local Tanite school before the Asiatic invasion. 7. Head of a Sphinx, portrait of an Egyptian king. The origi nal, of dark stone, in the museum of Cairo, was found at Tanis in 1861. The Tanite sphinxes are often attributed to the Hyksos rulers of Egypt (about 1700 B. C), but they may be monuments of earlier native sovereigns. On the breast of this 1 2 The Art Institute of Chicago. one is inscribed the name of Merenptah (Amenptah), son and successor of Rameses II. Merenptah reigned about 1226-1216 B. C. 8. King Amenophis III (Amenhotep, 1411-1375 B. C). From a seated statue of black granite in the British Museum. XIX dynasty, Theban period. The two colossal statues near Thebes, one of which was called Memnon by the Greeks, were erected by this king. 9. Head of an Egyptian Princess, of family of King Harm- hab, 1350-1315 B. C. Two copies, from a limestone original in the museum of Cairo, found at Karnak. Theban period, XIX dynasty. 10. King Rameses II (miscalled Sesostris), 1292-1225 B. C. From the upper part of a colossal statue of granite in the British Museum, London. Theban period, XIX dynasty. (See 91.) • 11. Head of the Ethiopian King Shabaka (712-700 B. C.) wear ing the white crown of Upper Egypt. Intaglio - rilievo . Original of limestone in the Royal Museum, Berlin, 51x55 centimetres. XXV dynasty. 12. Queen Amenerltis, of the XXV or Ethiopian dynasty, VII century B. C. From an alabaster statue in the museum of Cairo, Egypt, found at Karnak by Mariette. 13, 14, 15. The God Osiris and the Goddesses Isis and Xathor, the last in the form of a cow supporting Psamtik under her chin. From statuettes of dark green basalt, found at Sak kara in the tomb of Psamtik (Psammetichos ) , "Recorder of the Offerings," who lived under the thirtieth dynasty, four centuries before Christ. The original statuettes, with two other pieces from the same tomb, are now grouped together in the museum of Cairo. Osiris and Isis (his sister- Casts of Ancient Sculpture, Hall Collection. 13 wife) are seated. The god wears the "Atef Crown" of Upper Egypt and two large feathers. The two goddesses wear the disk and horns, and Hathor's crown also has the "uraeus" and the feathers. These 26th dynasty statuettes are good examples of Egyptian sculpture of the Saitic period, 663-525 B. C. The Osiris in this group is duplicated. (See Cases 8 and 9 in Room 15.) 16. Opet Toeris (Thoueris, Ta-Urt), also called Apet. Goddess of Maternity. Statuette in the form of a pregnant hippopot amus standing upright. Original, of dark green basalt, in the museum of Cairo. Found at Thebes. Saitic period. (See Cases 8 and 9 in Room 15.) CHALDEA AND BABYLONIA. Room I. 51. Record Stone; A rude cylinder with round top ornamented with various figures in low relief. On one side, cut away to make a flat surface, is the figure of a king in low re lief. A cuneiform inscription on the other sides records the sale of a field in the time of King Merodach Adan Akhi. From a stone found at Hadji-Abad, now in British Museum. Chaldean, about 1120 B. C. Height, 25 in. 52. Record from a fragment of black stone in the Royal Museum, Berlin, found in the ruins at Niffer, the ancient Nippur, near the site of Babylon. The face of the stone is convex. On it is a large eight-pointed star, in low relief, in a circular disc which overlaps another circular disc. To the left is a smaller star. Below is ah inscription in cuneiform characters. Chal dean. See 96, 3. 53, 1-8. Ancient seal cylinders. Originals of stone in Royal Museum, Berlin. (Case in Room 1.) 1.

Translated by Rawlinson. Each of the four sides of the obelisk is divided into five compartments, one above another, representing in low relief the bringing of tribute to the king. Erected 828-825 B. C. 62. Sardanapalus I (Assurnazirpal of Assyria, 884-859 B. C). From a limestone statue about half life size in the British Museum, found at Nimrud (near site of Nineveh). Erected about 825 B.C. Casts qf Ancient Sculpture, Hall Collection. 15 63. Winged Lion, with Human Head. From a colossal high re lief, with long cuneiform inscription — a portal guardian found by Layard at Nimrud. Now in the British Museum. 64. Winged Bull, with human head. From a colossal high re lief, with long cuneiform inscription — a portal guardian found by Layard at Nimrud. Now in the British Museum. Note— The two figures described above show a curious contrivance for making tbem complete, no matter how viewed. In front the forelegs are parallel, as if the animal were at rest. On the side a fifth leg is introduced to take the place of the hidden foreleg. This extra leg gives the impression of walking. 65, 1-12. Nineveh Reliefs. From alabaster slabs of IX century B, C, in the British Museum, found at Nimrud (near the site of Nineveh) by Layard, 1845-1850. The impression of bigness, strength, and semi-barbaric dignity made by the Assyrian flat reliefs of Ancient Nineveh is apt to cause the observer to overlook one of their greatest beauties — the decorative work on the costumes and other accessories. It is so delicate, and has been so much exposed to injury, that it is now somewhat obscure ; but a close exam ination (of the border of a robe, for example, in which floral, animal and geometric motifs are most gracefully harmonized) will show that the Assyrians of nearly 3000 years ago ha'd a high standard of taste and skill in decorative design. 1. Two genii adoring the tree of life. 2, Kings and genii adoring the god Assur and the tree of life. 3. Eunuch and winged genius, attendants of a king. 4. King besieging a city. 5.

C , found by Layard at Kuyunjik (Nineveh). 12. Part of a pavement, with lotos flowers and buds, rosettes, and palmette ornaments in very low relief, arranged in rec tangular panels and borders. From an alabaster slab in the British Museum, found in the ruins of Kuyunjik, site, of ancient Nineveh. Assyrian, between B. C. 668 and B. C. 626. 66, 1-15.

From a figure of a warrior with a spear carved on a mountain side about twenty-five miles from Smyrna on the road to Sardis. Herodotus described this figure 2400 years ago, but erroneously regarded it as a representation of Sesostris, meaning Ramses II. 1 See 10. ) The style of the relief, the costume, the figure and the hieroglyphic characters are not Egyptian, but of the Hittite type. (Room 2.) 92, 1-13. Rock Sculpture of Boghaz-Koi, work of the Hittites, about 1300 B. C. The originals are generally low reliefs in a long and narrow rectangular court cut in the side of a moun tain of calcareous rock. The figures are carved on the natural rock walls of this court. They represent two processions, one coming down each side from the front and meeting the other on the end wall. 1. The heads of the processions, meeting.

Now in the National Museum, Athens. 40^ inches high. Athenian, V century B. C. See 55 54. Fragment of the Shield of Arthena Parthenos. From the Strangford shield in the British Museum, which has been supposed to be an antique copy in marble from the original by Pheidias, showing sketchy portraits of the sculptor and Perikles. Plutarch, in his life of Perikles, says that Pheidias had carved on the shield of the original statue of Athena Parthenos his own portrait and that of Perikles, the former as a bald old man lifting a stone, and the latter brandishing a spear so "that his arm covers his face. The Strangford mar ble is generally supposed to be an antique copy of this shield; but on it the bald man does not appear old and he is swing ing an axe instead of lifting a stone. A. S. Murray contends in Encyclopedia Brittanica, and in his book, "The Sculptures of the Parthenon," that this shield is several centuries later than the time of Pheidias and could not have been copied from his work. He is also skeptical regarding Plutarch's story of the portraits. 30 The Art Institute of Chicago. 55. Athena Parthenos.

Casts of the Elgin Marbles. The collection in the British Museum called "The Elgin Marbles" was brought from Greece to England by Thomas . Bruce, Seventh Earl of Elgin, 1801-1803. While Ambassador of Great Britain at Constantinople he obtained from the Turkish government a permit to remove certain relics of the art of ancient Greece, chiefly from the Parthenon or temple of Athena (Minerva) on the Akropolis of Athens. In 1816 they were purchased by the British gov ernment and placed in the British Museum. Their origin is contemporary with that of the Parthenon itself, which was dedicated in 438 B. C, under the administration of Perikles. The temple, of the Doric order of architecture, was built of Pentelic marble, and its exterior was richly adorned with sculptures in the same material, the design and superinten dence of the execution of which have generally been attribu ted to Pheidias. In the cella (that portion of the temple enclosed by the solid walls) was one of the most celebrated works of Pheidias, the colossal statue of Athena (39 feet high), overlaid with gold and ivory, and hence called chrys elephantine. (See 53.) The walls of the cella were decora ted externally by a frieze in low relief representing the Pana- thenaic procession or one of kindred character. The spaces between the triglyphs (ends of the beams of the roof) were filled in with blocks of marble sculptured in high relief, and from their position, called metopes. The subjects of the fif- 3i 32 The Art Institute of Chicago. teen metopes preserved in the British Museum, and the one in the Louvre, are taken from the contest between the Cen taurs and Lapiths, at the marriage feast of Perithoos. The figures on the pediments were sculptured in the round.

(Room 4 ) 193.- Apollo of the Belvedere. From a marble statue found at Grotta Ferrata in a retreat of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere, afterwards Pope Julius II, who installed it in the Belvedere of the Vatican. Restorations made by Montorsoli, who died in 1546, leave in doubt the action intended to be represented by the statue. The question has been long and warmly dis cussed; but the preponderance of argument at present seems to favor the theory that the left hand held a bow, not an aegis; and the right a branch of laurel and a knotted fillet. These attributes, with the bow, indicated the god who wards off darkness and disease. There has also been much difference of opinion regarding the authorship and purpose of the work. It may, however, be safely characterized as a copy, probably Roman, of IV century Greek statue, probably by Leochares. A good summary of the controversy regarding this statue is given by Furtwangler, in his "Masterpieces of Greek Sculpture." (English version, p. 405.) (Room 5.) 194.

The original figure stands on the prow of a great galley, and was probably intended to commemorate the naval victory of Demet- rios Poliorketes, King of Macedonia, over Ptolemy I of Egypt, in a battle fought off Salamis, in 306 B. C. ( Room 4.) 200. Royal Sarcophagus, found in Sidon. The original marble, in the Constantinople Museum, is Greek work of the V or IV century B. C. Supposed to be unfinished.

The torso was found in the baths of Caracalla, Rome, 1540, and the head in a well in the Trastavere. Legs were made for it by Delia Porta after Michelangelo had refused, on the ground that he could not make them worthy of the torso. In 1560 the original legs were found in the farm of La Frattochie, ten miles from Rome. The modern legs were then removed and placed in the museum of the Villa Borghese. The completed statue was taken to Naples in 1786. Athenian, I century B. C. By Glykon of Athens, after an original by Lysippos. (Room 5.) 4i 42 The Art Institute of Chicago. 256.

' 'The Listening Slave' ' is one of the many names by which this work has been known. It has also been supposed to represent Cincinnatus and other historic characters; but archseologists generally recognize it as an ideal of the Scythian whom Apollo ordered to slay the satyr Marsyas.

BEING REPRODUCTIONS OF OBJECTS IN THE NAPLES MUSEUM FOUND IN HERCULANEUM AND POMPEII. Presented by Harlow N. Higinbotham, 1893. All the objects in this room are reproductions in fac-simile of the interesting statues, busts and examples of ornament found in the XVIII century, on the sites of the ancient cities of Hercula- neum]and Pompeii, and preserved in the Naples Museum. These cities were destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, A. D. 79.

Arthur, King of England. From one of the bronze statues of the tomb of Maximilian I in the Franciscan Church at Innsbruck. (Hall collection, Room 10.) Stoss, Veit — Nuremberg. The first certain date in the biography of this sculptor is that on which he lost or gave up his citizenship in Nuremberg, 1477. From that year until 1496 he lived and worked in Cracow, where he may be said to have founded a school of sculpture He returned to Nuremberg in 1496. Died in 1533 (?), very old and blind. Stoss and Vischer were leading pioneers in the German Renaissance. 832. The Nuremberg Madonna. From a wooden statue formerly in the Frauenkirche (Church of the Virgin), Nurem berg, now in the Germanic National Museum, Nuremberg. (Hall collection, Room 10.) Rauch, Christian Daniel — German, 1777-1857. Born in Arolsen, died in Dresden. Pupil of Valentine, in Arolsen, and of J. C. Ruhl, in Cassel (1790-1797) . In 1797 he came to Potsdam as a lackey of the Prussian court, giving his spare time to the Academy. In 1802 he was sent under royal protection to study in Dresden. Later he studied and worked in Italy. His master work was the monument of which No. 841 is a copy. 79 80 The Art Institute of Chicago. 841. Monument of Frederick the Great. A reduced copy in bronze on the scale of one-eighth. The original in Berlin (bronze figures and panels on granite pedestal) is forty-four feet high. It was designed and executed between 1834 and 1854. This copy was presented to the Art Institute in 1894 by Thies J. Lefens, William C. Seipp, Edward G. Uihlein, Leo Ernst, John A. Orb, Rudolph Brand, George Bartholomae, and Charles H. Wacker. (Room 35.) 842. A reduced copy in bronze of the equestrian statue on the monument to Frederick the Great in Berlin. Scale of one-fourth. (See 841.) Presented by M. A. Ryerson and C. L. Hutchinson in 1890. (Room 35.) SCANDINAVIAN. Thorvaldsen, Bertel. — Danish. Born 1770 in Copenhagen, or on the sea. Died in Copenhagen, 1844. Student of Royal Academy there in 1781. Awarded the Large Gold Medal in 1793; and a three years stipend for study in Rome 1796 — extended to five • years. After he became his own master Thorvaldsen estab lished his studio in Rome, but returned to Copenhagen a short time before his death. The Thorvaldsens Museum, in Copen hagen, contains a full collection of his works, including original models of finished works held elsewhere. The colossal relief of a lion dying on the shield of France, carved on the rocks near Lucerne, was designed by Thorvaldsen and exe cuted by his pupils. It commemorates an episode of the French Revoluiion, the massacre of the Swiss guards in Paris, August 10, 1792. 854. Venus Victrix, about 5 feet high. Eug&ne Plon's cata logue of Thorvaldsen 's works mentions a Venus Victrix modeled in Rome in 1805 and afterwards cut in marble for the Countess Woronzoff and Herr von Ropp. It was only 2 ft. 7'A in. high. Dissatisfied with the size, the sculptor destroyed the model, after making these two copies. He afterwards European Sculpture. modeled a similar Venus 4 ft. 5)4 in. high which was cut in marble five times. Three copies are in England, one in the Pitti Palace, Florence, and one in the Thorvaldsens Museum, Copenhagen. Thiele, in his "Thorvaldsen and his Works" (English translation by Sinding), mentions another, 4 ft. 11 in. high, finished in May, 1816. Either that or the original model for it is doubtless in the Thorvaldsens Museum, and is the original of the present cast. (Hall collection, Room 12.) Eriksson, Christian — Stockholm.

OF PAINTINGS, ENGRAVINGS AND EXAMPLES OF DECORATIVE AND APPLIED ART WORK IN VARIOUS MATERIALS. PRESENTED BY MR. AND MRS. S. M. NICKERSON IN FEBRUARY, 1900, INSTALLED IN 1901. Rooms 41, 42, 44. The installation of this important collection, including the thorough and appropriate refitting of rooms 41, 42 and 44, was made at the expense of the donors and under their personal direc tion. Their generous work was made complete by the preparation and printing of a special classified catalogue of the collection. In the present general catalogue of Art Institute exhibits the matter referring to this particular collection is necessarily much reduced, except in the descriptive lists of paintings and engravings which are placed with similar lists in the latter part of this volume. A summary of the remaining objects of the collection is given below. CASE 1, ROOM 42. JADE. One of the most extensive and valuable collections in the United States. Jade in its initial state is a silicate of calcium and magnesium ; jadeite, the crystalline form, being a silicate of sodium and aluminum. Although specimens of carved jade, inlaid with precious stones were among the treasures of the Mogul emperors, there is no reason to believe that this mineral has ever been found in the Indian Empire, and the raw material must have been brought from the mines situated in the Kuen-lun Mts. , on this side of the Kara-Kash valley in Turkestan, near Khotan. 143 144 The Art Institute of Chicago. The pure white jade, when found in large pieces and without a flaw, was reserved for the Chinese Emperor, who personifies the pure white light of Heaven. Such blocks were given to an artist worthy of the great work, and many of the rare specimens looted from the summer palace, Pekin, in October, 1860, represented twenty or thirty years of ceaseless toil at the hands of an artistic, patient and diligent worker. The finest varieties of the stone are the "pork fat" white and the emerald green. The carvings in this material, in various forms, shown in case 1, may be classified as follows : 1-11 Chinese 68-72, Chinese 12, 13, East Indian 67, East Indian 14-19, Chinese 73, Chinese or East Indian. 20, East Indian 74-80, Chinese 21-26, Chinese 81, East Indian 27, East Indian 82-84, Chinese 28-40, Chinese 85, East Indian 41, 42, East Indian 86-112, Chinese 43-49, Chinese 113, East Indian 50-59, East Indian 114, 115, Chinese 60-66, Chinese 116, East Indian Two of the Chinese jade carvings are in the form of ceremo nial maces. 117.

Lacquer is a varnish made from the sap of the urishi tree ; but when applied in numerous successive coats and made the vehicle of decorative designs in relief and color, as in Japan, it becomes the principal feature of tlie objects decorated. Its name is there fore popularly given to such objects collectively, their original materials being disregarded. There are many varieties of lacquer (or lacquered ware). Some are hard enough to stand the heat necessary to boil water. 146 The Art Institute of Chicago. 1-85. Inroe (medicine boxes), with ornamental slides and netsukes.

The objects in this room, except the terra-cottas in cases 18 and 19, are real antiquities and not reproductions. The collection has been carefully selected and has a representative value as ex emplifying some of the chief decorative applications of art among the ancients. A detailed catalogue is in course of preparation. The objects will be found clearly labelled. Their general distri bution is as follows : Case 15, Island Terra-Cottas. Small figures, heads and fragments of terra-cotta, found in the Greek Islands of the Mediter ranean. Case 16. Roman Lamps, etc. Case 17, Greek Glass, Bronzes and other objects. Case 18, Terra-Cotta Masks and a small marble head of Aphrodite, from Cyprus. Case 19. Terra-Cotta Figurines. Cases 20-25. Graeco-Italian Vases, and other antique vases.

The archi tectural fragments illustrate not only the excellence of ordinary Roman design, but the skill and quality of ancient marble cutting. OIL PAINTINGS BY OLD MASTERS Room 32. Works lent to the collection are described in a supplement al the end of the catalogue, arranged alphabetically under the names ofthe owners. Thirteen of the most important pictures in this room were pur chased in June, 1890, from the famous Demidoff Collection in Florence. The founder of the Florentine branch of the family of Demi doff was Count Nikolai Demidoff, a learned and rich Russian noble, noted for benevolence. He was born near St. Petersburg in 1774, and died in Florence in 1828. His son, Anatoli Demidoff, inherited his tastes and was dis tinguished as a patron of science, literature and art. His munifi cence as a patron of art gave him European celebrity, and the palace of San Donato, the family seat in Florence, became a treasure house of art. From him the collection, the title, aud the palace of San Donato descended to his nephew, the late Prince Paul Demidoff, who added greatly to the collection, but in 1880 sold the palace and the greater part of the collection and removed to Pratolino, the ancient seat of the Medici family, six miles from Florence. Some of the pictures now in the Art Institute are described in the San Donato catalogue published in 1880, but were withdrawn from sale by Prince Demidoff as the choicest part of the collection, while others do not appear in the catalogue, and were probably never intended to be sold. Enough pictures remained after the sale of 1880 to occupy a beautiful gallery at Pratalino, and the works now exhibited remained in this gallery until they were pur chased for the Art Institute, in June, 1890, from the surviving Princess Demidoff, who was formerly the Princess Lise Troubetzkoi. Autotypes of these pictures, made by Braun, of Paris, may be bought at the Art Institute. 155 156 The Art Institute of Chicago. Opportunities for acquiring good examples of the works of the old masters are increasingly rare, and the modern taste for collecting has increased the prices enormously. A good example is found in No. 11 of this collection, Portrait of a girl, by Rembrandt, which was sold in 1809 for ^"109, and in 1829 for ,£"420 In 1855 an offer of ^"4000 for it was refused; in 1875 it was sold to Prince Paul Demidoff for ^"5000 (about $25,000-00); and in 1890 to the Art Institute for 129,150 francs (nearly §26,000.00). The Art Institute may be considered fortunate in having obtained the thirteen pic tures noted in the catalogue as "from the Demidoff Collection" in 1890 for the sum of $180,000.00. The cost of the Rembrandt (No. 11) was in round numbers $26,000, of the Frans Hals (No 13) $13,000, of the Hobbema (No. 16) $26,000, and of the Ostade (No. 1) $40,000. There are modern paintings in the other gal leries by Millet, Breton, Meissonier and others of equal value, and in most cases their values are rapidly increasing. Ostade, Adriaen van. Born in Haarlem 1610. Buried there in 1685. Pupil of Frans Hals and fellow student of Brouwer. His professional life was spent in his native town.

The family concert. On canvas, height 34^ in., width 39^ in. Description from San Donato Catalogue, 1880: "The con cert takes place in a parlor lighted on the left by a window hung with red curtains, one sash of which left open discloses a wind-mill attached to a dwelling. The principal group is composed of Jan Steen, bis wife and child, and his brother-in- law performing on a musical instrument. On the left, Steen, seated on a bench near the window, rests his elbow upon a table, and strikes with so much vigor the chords of his guitar that his young wife has to recall him to the time. Placed in the center of the composition, and wearing a blue satin dress, she sings, following the score with extreme attention. Her brother, seated at the right, plays the clarionet, and the little son of the master, who has possessed himself of a long clay pipe, avails himself of it to scrape the strings of a bas-viol set against a chair before the table. In the background a young man tunes a violin, and the sister-in-law of Steen con- veises with the landscape painter, Van Goyen, his father in law. An attendant descends a staircase on the right, bringing refreshments.. The table is covered with a rich Smyrna cloth, upon which lies the music, one sheet bearing the signature of the painter and the date 1666. Upon the wall is hung among musical instruments one of the most celebrated pictures of Rubens: 'The Lion Hunt,' now in the Pinakothek, Munich, Engraved in L' Art by H Lefort.
