1451. INTERIOR OF A CHURCH.

_Gerrit Berck-Heyde_ (Dutch: 1638-1698). _See 1420._

The nave of a Gothic church in Holland, during sermon-time (the

preacher is in the pulpit against one of the columns on the right).

The women sit on chairs; the men in seats raised in tiers. Some stand

listening to the sermon, and an elderly man on the left is warning

two children to be quiet. In the centre a boy is playing with a dog,

to which a woman directs the attention of the child with her. On the

pavement is the artist's signature, dated 1673.
