To the left of the center of the hall is the Gothic Portal of Bordeaux, with its pointed arch and sculptured ornament; and on either side of it are examples of Renais- sance architecture. The details of architecture which are installed under the balcony are arranged in order of their period, beginning with the Egyptian at the right and ending with the late Renaissance at the left.

The British painters, Sir Alfred East, Sir William Orpen, Sir John Lavery, Alexander Roche, and Maurice Greiffen- hagen are each represented by an important canvas. Two important paintings by Anton Mauve and a fine example of the art of Jacob Maris may be named as belonging to the art of Holland, and paintings by Ignacio Zuloaga, Joaquin Sorolla v Bastida, and Valentin de Zubiaurre to the
