BARTOLOM DE MURILLO F. HISPAN.

_The Virgin in Glory_ (No. 1711) is, to say the least, of doubtful

authenticity. The small companion pictures, _Christ in the Garden of

Olives_ (No. 1714) and _Christ at the Column and St. Peter_ (No. 1715),

are painted on marble, to which fact they owe the unpleasant coldness

of their colouring.

In the La Caze Room are two portraits, _The Poet Quevedo_ (No. 1718)

and _The Duke of Ossuña_ (No. 1719), which the official Catalogue

ascribes to Murillo. Quite apart from the fact that the artist was

only six years of age when the Duke of Ossuña died, the quality of

the painting does not justify these attributions. Like the head of

Philip IV. in the same room, they were probably painted by Escosura, a

late-nineteenth-century Spaniard
