trait is an old copy Of an original by Velasquez
identical il IS in line and composition with an
other more important painting in the Faace OF
VTlahermuSa in Madrid, which evidently was not
taken from nature. because il lacks that nrTnneSS
of execution which VelasQuez always displayed
when working from the living model Besides, the
parsonage depicted lacks that characteristic feat

picture represented the Infaate Don Fernando de
Austria. Younger brother Of the sovereign, whom

ground for this sUppOSition.
The Boston Museum, in printing the opinions
mentioned above observed that "the claim that
the museum portrait is copy rests upon Senor
de Beruete's sole authority as a painter and
writer on Velasquez" and continued as follows:
Senor de Reruete is n Spaniard, while all the
pictures by NeidSQueZ which best explain the
museum portrait-the scenes of hOmely life known
BOdcG0ncs and produced during his Seville youth
are preserved in English collections 1t is open
the believers in the portrait to suppose that a
more familiar knowledge Of these might have
constrained SeHor de Beruete to recognize in the
museum picture itself the lost VelaSQueZ original
and in the NiIlahermoSa picture alone copy

made something like a sensation when il first
appeared That the book should not long ago
have been printed in an American edition has
been puzzling indeed and it is gratifying to
note that the Scrbners have just repaired the

on a lifelong acquaintance with Velasquez and
