L. S. D.
63. Jan Stein.—Schoolmaster. It is almost super-
fluous to say any thing respecting the character
here represented—he has immortalized himself: it is
presumed impossible that the excellence of this work
of art can be surpassed. Dermer 115 10 0
64. A. Vandevelde. — Beautiful Landscape, on the
banks of a Canal. A pleasing scene, with the
serenity of a fine evening sun, rippling and playing
on the surface of the water; a horseman on the
foreground, with many other charming figures. One
of his finest cabinet pictures. Seguire 55 13 0
65. Van der Heyde.—-View of a Village in North
Holland. A master, whose particular style far
surpassed all others in the high-finished imitation
of nature: this beautiful cabinet picture possesses
all the perfection of his art: to which are added the
best efforts of Adrian Vandevelde in the figures.
H. Smith 65 2 0
66. Ditto.—Another smaller, not inferior in merit.
Stepney 33 12 0
67. Jan Stein.—The Pancake Girl. This surprising
genius stands unrivalled at the head of the Dutch
school for native humour and forcible expression:
a group of children truly replete with all the ex-
cellencies of this master’s art. Dermer 120 15 0
68. P. Neefs.—Interior View of a Church in Flanders.
This artist’s works are deservedly in great esteem
for the grand style in which he treated these noble
Gothic structures. The perspective and colouring
are unexceptionable: he stands unrivalled in this
fine line of the art. Walton 39 18 0
69. Ditto.—The companion. A candlelight, of equal
merit. Coxe 43 1 0
70. A. Vandevelde.—View on the Sea Coast, near
