(Su Plate 66.) Signed with monogram Canvas 4.1 in. x 57 tn. NETSCHER, Caspar 1639-1684 Netscher was born at Heidelberg in 1639. His father, an en- gineer in the service of the republic of Poland, died at Prague leaving a widow and three children, of whom Caspar was the youngest, his age at the time being only two years. War compelled his mother to fly from Germany and make her way to Holland. Two of her children died on the journey, and she arrived at Arnheim in Guelderland in a state of utter ...destitution. Netscher was there adopted by a prominent physician and educated for medicine, but his taste for painting led to his becoming the disciple of Gerard ter Bosch. He set out from that master's studio on an intended visit to Italy, embarking at Amsterdam for Bordeaux. The encourage- ment which he received in that town delayed his progress, and in the meantime conceiving an attachment for the niece of the person in whose house he lodged, he married, and changed his intention of proceeding to Italy.
