$1,500,000 Worth of Van Dyck
Paintings on Exhibition.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2 - Forced by the fortunes of war to sell the $1,500,000 worth of Van Dyck paintings that have hung for centuries in the halls of Newnham Paddox, Leicestershire, the Earl of Denbigh has sent the five pictures here, where they are being prepared for exhibition and sale on Fifth avenue.
One of the five $500,000 paintings shows James Stuart, Duke of Richmond, the cousin of Charles I who vainly offered his life to ransom the king, in black dress and cloak, with star, white stockings, black shoes and enormous rosettes and wide lace collar, standing with the grey hound that saved his life by arousing him from sleep. Two other of the portraits are of Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria. They are full lengths.
