I went to visit Mr. _C. Boét_, a famous painter in enamel, who had a salary from his late Majesty, whose picture, with those of other confederate Princes, drawn by him he now shewed me. But that which is most remarkable, he is at present working for this court the largest piece, that ever was known in enamel, being an oval of eighteen inches by fifteen; which contains the figures of the Emperor and Empress, King and Queen of the _Romans_, with the Archduke, the four Archdutchesses, and the two young Daughters of the King of the _Romans_. He was sent for hither by his late Majesty on purpose for this work, for which when finished he is by compact to receive four thousand ducats of gold. The materials of it are a copper plate covered with a white enamel, which being hardened in the fire, is afterwards painted over in colours of a peculiar composition, with oil of lavender and rosemary; and then again put into the fire to receive a gloss, and additional hardness; after which it is liable to no accident, but that of breaking. It may be observed, that all the red colours in this work are made of gold. November vi. This day by order of his Excellency I waited on the two young _Messieurs Olmeus_ and others, in order to see the Emperor’s treasury the third time, and thereby perfected my catalogue of those rarities. And his Excellency being then preparing for his departure, the Emperor presented him with six thousand dollars. November viii. His Excellency with his retinue now set forward from _Vienna_ towards _Holland_, and proceed two german miles to _Entzersdorff_. A little before the midway we cross the _Danube_ over a wooden bridge four hundred paces in length, and continue near the banks of the river to the above mentioned town. And as we continued there the following day, I walked down to the banks of the _Danube_, where it flows under the castle of _St. Leopold_, near _Cloyster Newburg_, and in the extreme point of _Mons Cetius_. November x. This day we proceed two German miles and a half further to _Stockeran_, and there meet C. _Schlick_, Mr. Stepney, Mr. Montague, and Mr. _Gangain_, with whom we proceed three miles and a half further to our lodgings at _Holibrun_. And from thence his Excellency, with the said company, the next morning goes out an hour to Count _Sereny’s_, there to wait on the King of the _Romans_, now returning from the campaign on the _Rhine_. By one a clock the King and Queen arrived at the Count’s, where his Excellency had an audience of both their Majesties; after which they sat down to table, and his Excellency and company dined with the court, and afterwards returned to _Holibrun_.
