27. WouvePvMANS.—Halt of a Party Hawking. Figures
descending to the right, and others refreshing them-
selves by the side of a streamlet; with a view of a
beautiful distant country. A chef-d’oeuvre. The

28. A. Ostade.—An Interior with many Figures dancing
and regaling. An open door in the distance ad-

mirable specimen of the powers of Ostade displays
the gaiety of his colouring, tempered and harmonised

whole is finished with neatness and infinite care. A
chef-d’oeuvre.

he himself was unequalled. Campbell 388 10 0
