And to add to this curious mischance, the work, being too large to be placed upon the easel on the day of sale, had been leaned against the wall behind the aué'tioneer with a Still larger canvas in front of it - so that it came into close view for the first time when it was lifted upon the table for the brief moment during which the bidding took place. The description of it in the catalogue (quite accurate and full as far as it went) was evidently doubted by the languid buyers who attended - it was a week or two after Midsummer-day when most amateurs had left town who could - and it was knocked down to the one person present who believed, in spite of the dull indifference of the small public, that beneath the veil of obscurity lay the genuine work of the Spanish master, and thus it came into my possession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
