toilet: 793. G. Dou, The fisherman’s wife (4653). **2049. Rem-
brandt. The so-called ‘Jewish Bride’; an old man approaches a young
and richly-adorned woman as if about to embrace her. This ad-
ate work (ca. 1668) is now considered to re-
son Titus and his wife, Magdalene van Loo.

early work), 1249. Interior (1670); *2075. J. van Ruysdael, Wood

Moliére, beautifully drawn and boldly painted. 485. Hiob Berck-
heyde, Old Exchange at Amsterdam; 2238. Jan Steen, Merry
household (‘soo d’oude songen, soo pypen de jongen’; 1668); *1635.
J. M. Molenaer, Lady playing the spinet.
234. Jan Steen, Drunken roisterers, a coarse but clever re-
ation of a carousal, which is not without its moral.
» the gentleman and lady are sacrificing to Bacchus and Venus, the
musicié slip contemptuously out of the room and a woman steals a cloak.
Over the head of the drunken old man is seen the picture of an owl with
candles and spectacles, with the minute inscription: —
Wat baeten kaers of Bril,
‘Als den uyl niet sien en wil?
(Of what use are candles or spectacles, when the owl will not see?).
