Supposed to Be Vccquoz's Painting of Charles, the First, Is Found. RECTOR DISCOVERED IT ; American News Sarvlc) London, March 31. The Reverend James Stephen Barrass, rector of St Lawrence Jewry, has found what he believes to be a portrait of Charles the first, by Velasques, of which nothing has been' heard from the time It was painted in Madrid nearly three hundred years ago. ' This discovery of a portrait by the greatest master of the brush the world has yet seen will rank among the most remarkable artistic finds in history, if the flood of criticism which Is bound to burst upon it bears out the belief which Mr. Barrass entertains as to the authenticity of the work. The Reverend Barrass purchased the picture from a family In London, In whose possession it had been for sixty years. Critics and qualified experts who have viewed the picture are agreed that the reconciliation of a single ap parent discrepancy between the can vas in the possession of Mr. Barrass and the most authoritative description of Velasquezs portrait of Charles I. would go far to establish the picture as the work of the great Spanish master. The apparent discrepancy is found in the fact that whereas the recto r"s picture is a more or less finished study. Pachecho, the father-in-law of Velas quez, refers to Velasques's portrait in I question . as. merely a sketch. - "While I have seen the Rev. J. S.' Barrass's picture on several occasions, I find it extremely difficult to express my definite opinion." said "C. Gasquoine Hartley" (Mrs. Gallicban.) the art critic, in a recent ' interview. Mrs. Gallichan is the author of "Velasques" and "A Record of Spanish Painters." "I believe the picture Is Spanish. I believe it is a portrait of Charles I. I doubt whether anyone except Velasques could have painted it Parts of the face and collar certainly look like his work." Mrs.' Gallichan added that there could be no two opinions about the extremely interesting nature of the picture. . " , nonsE FEED U IB D KO The great conditioner. ' Produces nice coat of hair.
