CHAPEAU DE PAILLE (i.e. Poil—The
Beaver Hat), Rubens, National Gallery, London;
wood, H. 2 ft. 6 in. × 1 ft. 9 in. Portrait
of a young lady (Mdlle. Lunden?),
half-length, life-size, dressed in a black velvet
bodice with crimson sleeves, and wearing
a black Spanish beaver hat with black and
white feathers, holding her hands crossed
before her. The hat casts a shadow over the
upper part of the face, giving the painter
an opportunity of showing his skill in treating
transparent shadow. From this it was
formerly called in Belgium Het Spaansch
Hoedje (The Spanish Hat). It was in Rubens's
possession until his death (1640); at
death of his widow passed to family of Lunden,
from whom bought (1817) by Baron
Stiers d'Aertselaer for 50,000 florins; sold
at his death (1822) for 32,700 florins, and
taken to England, where it was purchased
for £3,500 by Sir Robert Peel, from whose
Collection it passed in 1871 to National Gallery.
