1312. THE VILLAGE COBBLER.

_Jan Victoors_ (Dutch: 1620-1672).

Victoors, a native of Amsterdam, was a pupil of Rembrandt,

and attempted biblical subjects in the style of his master; a

picture by him in this kind may be seen in the Dulwich Gallery.

But he is seen at his best in portraits and domestic subjects,

such as that treated in the present picture.
