Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Valuable Collection of Pictures of the Early English, Old Italian and Flemish Schools, Formed by the Late George Richmond, R. A: Also a Selection From the Works of the Late George Richmond, R. A Extract from the Athenaeum, January 30, 1875 - A young man's head, ascribed to the old English painter, John Bettes, ' is strictly in the German manner, of which Holbein's pictures are the best known examples. It is a bust, nearly full face, in a black cap and coat trimmed with brown fur. Admirably drawn, capitally painted in a thin fashion, with excess of red in the carnations, thoroughly expres sive, idiosyncratic and lively; this, whether by Bettes or not (there seems no other evidence of the ascription than the signature), is a very valuable example.
