_Van Dyck_ (Flemish: 1599-1641). _See 49._
These drawings were bought with the Peel Collection. The former is the
study for an altar-piece of the church of St. Michael at Ghent--"a most
superb drawing," says Mrs. Jameson. The latter is a drawing prepared
for the engraver, Peter de Jode, from the large picture of the subject
in the Louvre. It was the sight of that picture that determined King
Charles I. to secure the services of Van Dyck.
