The picture gallery of the Domin- ion Archives at Ottawa is full of in- teresting paintings and prints, and one of the most striking pictures on exhibit is a life-sized portrait of that well-knowh- historical figure, Charles 1. The power of the picture is' im- mediately noticeable to the observer, The figure is standing by a table with one hand resting on a large black hat, He is wearing: a long black cloak with a creamy. lace collar and cuffs and a large silver crest. The aristocratic features of the man and the Father 'enseri: smile, the' regal bearing and the challenging eye, all well portray this strong-willed king. Although a despotic ruler, it is im- mediately known from his features that he is a clever man, t This picture is warm and clear in coloring and shows great attention to detail, The hands are particularly beautiful and the pattern in the lace is exquisitely painted. y Many crities claim that this picture was painted by Peter Lely, the court 'painter to Charles II after the origin- al VanDyke, and some éven claim it to be an original of Sir Anthony VanDyke, the famous painter 'of the early seventeenth century, who was employed by James th e First and knighted by Charles the First. Who- ever the painter may be the work is a great masterpiece. This great treasure was presented to Canada in accordance with the wish of his wife. Lord Dillon was an officer in the British army and was in Canada with his regiment about the year 1870, Here he met and married Migs Stanton of Montreal. This picture was a family heirloom anl the tradition is that it was painted by Lely, hel Friday; January 24th. On the same|. evening the church lamps will be} offered for sale. Particulars later.
