738 HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE. VOLUME IV.
THE CHILDREN OF CHARLES I. BY ELIOT McCORMICK.
ONE who goes to Turin and visits the gallery there will
he likely to linger some time before the picture of
three odd. old-fashioned children and their dog. This
famous painting, a reproduction of which will he found
on the preceding page, the guide-book will tell him——if he
does not know it already—is the work of the great artist
Vandyck, and represents the family of King Charles I.
He will be surprised, perhaps, to learn that the quaint fig-
ure at the left, looking like a little old woman, with a lace
cap 011 its head, and a long scarlet frock, is Charles, the
Prince of Wales, while the even funnier little object on
the right whose frock is blue silk embroidered with sil-
ver lace, is James, the Duke of York. Hardly any one
would suppose them to be boys. The Princess Mary, how-
ever, who stands in the middle, beautifully dressed in white
satin, is not to be mistaken.
