mana very good portrait of Van Dyke
himself. This picture was produced when
he was Is years old. It Is clear evidence
that he still was working for Reubens
and had painted his own picture.
Shortly afterwards he started out on
his own. Almost Immediately he went
to England. where he became a court
favorite. It is known that for the next
six years he painted practically nothing
but pictures of the royal family. He led
highly dissipated life, contracted tuber-
culosis at 81 and died 10 years later.
During the interval he was too sick to
work most of the time. 1t is highly i'm
probable, DR.. Toch said. that the Fleming
could have produced many more than 10
pictures-against the 1,600 with which
he has been credited. A large number of
these still are owned by the British royal
family.
Now, DR.. Toch said, some Of the copies
which have been attested as genuine may
be about as good as Van Dyke himself
could have produced. The fact remains
that he didn't paint them, and there are
means of detecting the frauds. He told
of uncovering one such through two clues.
First the X-rays revealed that sketch
had been drawn before the portrait was
painted. It can be proved almost con-
clusively that Van Dyke never made
sketches. Then microchemical analysis
of a blue pigment In the portrait revealed
that 1t was Prussian blue, unknown in
England before 1880. Thus the genuine
Van Dyke must have been painted at
least 14O years after the master himself
was dead.
The market is flooded, he said, with
genuine" pictures by the French land
scape painter, Corot. They are popular
because they sell at relatively low
price. appeal to the popular eye, and at
the same time give wealthy man the
prestige of actually owning one of the
masters" without paying very much for
it. They can be bought for as low as
$1,000.
The trouble is that they are relatively
easy to initiate and 1t is not necessary to
produce the effect of great antiquity.
Consequently great many of the gen
uine Corots" have been painted in New
York City in the last Is years. DR.. Toch
detected one of them by simply turning
it around and finding the trade mark of
a New York dealer in art supplies on the
back Of the canvas. The experts who pro-
nounced 1t genuine had forgotten to look
at the back.
The faker, DIR. Toch said. almost always
leaves some clue by which he can be
trapped. He often Is O consummate
artist, but he seldom knows enough about
the chemistry and. history Of paints to
avoid using pigments which were not
available to the man he Is trying to
initiate.

OOCH 10s
When Nature with all her flowers sleeps
The Frost King out Of the Northland
creeps.
He covers the ground with glistening
SHOWS. a.
On his icy breath keen winds he blows;
Sending man within to hearth fires
bright,
And to rooms where the lamps are all
alight.
The hum Of insects on twilight air
And the song Of birds at vesper prayer
He hushed, for the cheep Of chickadees,
And woodpeckers tapping frost-bound
trees;
Yet gay the banner he has unftried
OF cheer and goodwill for oil the world.
