Rubens' Brown

: ON THE SEMI-NEUTRAL, BROWN.

still in use in the Netherlands under this appellation, is an earth of

a lighter colour and more ochrous texture than the Vandyke brown of

English commerce: it is also of a warmer or more tawny hue than the

latter pigment. Beautiful and durable, it works well both in water and

oil, and much resembles the brown employed by Teniers.
