1231. PORTRAIT OF A GENTLEMAN.

_Sir Antonio More_ (Flemish: 1512-1578). _See 1094._

"A man in the prime of life, attributed to Sir Antonio Moro; the

signature is perhaps apocryphal. There is little doubt, however, that

the attribution is correct; the manipulation shows all the prodigious

power of Moro. His capacity for seizing character and the fine tone of

his flesh colour are all here. The execution suggests the brilliant

study of Hubert Goltzius, by Moro, in the Brussels Gallery. That

masterpiece was stated to have been painted in an hour; the present

head bears every indication of almost equally rapid brush work"
