_Bartholomeus van der Helst_ (Dutch: 1611-1670). _See 140._
This picture, said to be a portrait of a lady of the house of Braganza,
was formerly in the collection of Mr. Beckford at Fonthill. It is
signed, and dated 1645. The "careful finish," which Sir Joshua Reynolds
commended in the work of Van der Helst, may be well studied here in the
rich and beautiful costume and jewellery.
