_Anthonie Palamedes_ (Dutch: 1601-1673).
Palamedes was the son of a gem-engraver at Delft. He became
Dean of the Painters' Guild. He painted portraits and small
"conversation pieces," and sometimes supplied figures for the
architectural pictures of his friend Dirk van Delen (see 1010).
"The light and spirited pose of his figures, his bold touch,
and the skill with which he makes the outline of his little
groups stand out, please the eye" (Havard).
