Weshare the opinion ex-pressed by various critics that they are the work of Rembrandtspupil, Christophel Paudiss, several of whose pictures are in theVienna Museum. This, as we have already pointed out, is noisolated instance of false ascriptions in connection with well-knownpictures in famous collections. The two portraits by Ferdinand Bolin Lord Ashburtons collection which bear forged signatures of Rem-brandts name belong to the same year (1641).

It is another example of those double portraitsso admirably typified by The Shipbuilder and his Wife. The picture. PORTRAIT OF A MAN. 1641 (Brussels Museum).
