ix FRANS HALS 49 Exhibited at the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, Metropolitan Museum, New York, 1909, No. 25. Bought by an ancestor of Lord Clancarty in Holland. The Clancarty sale catalogue says that it occurred in the Van Eyk sale, The Hague, 1820, but this seems to be a mistake. The Van Eyk sale did not take place till 1821-2, and the catalogues mention no such picture. Sale. Lord Clancarty, London, March 12, 1892, No. 32 (735, Lesser, who sold it to Wallis). In the collection of Sir William C. van Home, Montreal. CORNELIA VAN BAARDORP, wife of Michiel de Waal. [See 243.] 152. JOHANNES BARCLAYUS (1582-1621). B..20; M. 13. Half-length. The man is seen in full face and looks at the spectator ; the hands are not shown. He has long black hair and thin moustache, whiskers, and beard. He is dressed in brownish-grey with a turned-down collar. Dark background. It is unfinished. The tones are blackish-red with the shadows marked out in black. The handling is very coarse. If the picture is really by Frans Hals, which is improbable, it must from the style be assigned to his later period j in that case the subject cannot be J. Barclay. If, however, it is a portrait of Barclay, it cannot have been painted by Frans Hals. On the back is the inscription : lohannes Barclaivs, Gente Caledonivs, Gallvs natalibvs hie est, Romam Romano qvi docet ore loqvi Barclaivs Argenis avctor. Canvas, i8| inches by 14^ inches.

Behind her are the sky, a balustrade, and a light greyish-purple drapery. To the right are brown trees and clouds somewhat more broadly painted.
