JUSTUS SUSTERMANS i597—1681 Catalogue No. 54 51 SIR GODFREY KNELLER Dutch School 1646-1723 Kneller, although born in Germany, is classed in the DutchSchool, as he received his art education in the school of Rembrandtand afterwards studied under Ferdinand Bol. After visitingItaly, he spent some time in Hamburg; but at the age of twenty-eight he went to England, where at the courts of Charles II,James II, and William and Mary, he won laurels and fortune.He was knighted in 1692, and created a baronet in 1715. Therewas hardly a person of note in his day whom he did not paint. ADMIRAL EDWARD RUSSELL, EARL OF ORFORD It is well to have the portrait of a man whom Samuel Pepysmentions more than once in his immortal gossip. As a specimenof Knellers best, it could hardly be surpassed. The flesh tintsare fine and alive, the eyes unmannered, the features remarkablymodelled, especially about the mouth and chin. A splendid example of Sir Godfreys brush. On canvas; height, 30 inches; width, 25 inch
