Extract

I conceive that the following account of a picture, which was sold last week at Greenwood's auction-room in Leicester Fields, may be interesting to the Society.

It originally belonged to the great and good lord Falkland; from whom it descended to the late viscount of that title, who died not long since.

According to tradition in the family it was painted by Zuccaro; and represented lord Burleigh playing at cards with three other persons, who, from their dress, appear to be of distinction, each of them having two rings on the same fingers of both their hands.
