Excerpt from Catalogue of Valuable Pictures by Masters of the Early English, Dutch, Flemish, and French Schools: To Be Sold at Unrestricted Public Sale by Order of Mr. J. D. Ichenhauser For it hinges upon a notable gathering of portraits, inter esting as examples of the artists represented and as portraits of historic personages. And if we pursue the analysis still further, we shall find the collection centres round the early art of Eng land, including the work not only of Englishmen, but of those foreigners who were attracted thither, or whose works found favor there while still of small account in their own country; a summary which includes landscapes, as well as portraits.
