. Illustrated catalogue of the valuable paintings and sculptures by the old and modern masters forming the famous Catholina Lambert Collection removed from Belle Vista Castle, Paterson, New Jersey . No. .UiSAJ Till: or EM Mi OF 11 IK ( IIV SI1{ THOMAS I,AVV1{KN( i:, l.|{.A. SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE, RR^.A. English: 1769—1830. 368—^T THE OPENING OF THE GATE A GROUP of three whole-length figures of young ladies in a richlywooded park. The eldest, to the right, in gold low dress with brownshawl, is leading a donkey, on which is seated the youngest of theparty, in yellow dress and white lace collar; the second sister, to theleft, in red low dress, is opening the rustic gate. Canvas: Height, 95 inches; width, 82 inches. Purchased in London from a picture-restorer who had it in his possessionfor twenty-five years and who obtained it from the family. It was then statedthat tlie three young ladies were members of a now extinct branch of theMarquess of Londonderry family. This fine and imposing group has been accepted as by Sir Thomas Law-rence, and the fact that he painted a large number of the members of theLondonderry family lends color to that claim. But apart from the questionof technique, the whole scheme of the group is not one that Lawrence wouldhave adopted, whilst the unidealized figures are not painted
