colouring, which distinguish the noble productions
of Rubens’ pencil. Brown 146 0 0
31. Dubbels.—A View on the Mouth of a Harbour,
with Vessels sailing out. A surprising chef-d’oeuvre.
The water breakins' on the shoal beach, and stretch-
ing its glassy surface to the front of the picture, is
expressed with that truth which could only have
been attained by a happy observation of nature.
The agitation of both elements is finely expressed ;
the science and execution in every part are admirable.
It may be justly asserted that, in this performance,
Dubbels has proved himself equal if not superior to
every painter of his school in the same line.

32. P. Potter.—A Farm Yard with Cattle and Figures.
Strong effect of evening sunshine ; that wonderful
effort in the art, acknowledged by the painter himself
to have been his masterpiece, which he originally
painted for the family of V. Slingelandt.
The artist has chosen a plain and natural subject,
into which he has thrown all the power of his art,
and the magic of his inimitable pencil. Suffice it to
say of a picture that is above all praise, it has ever
been considered on the continent as unique and in-
valuable. Earl Grosvenor 1512 10 0
Many of the names entered in this, as in other
catalogues of pictures which have been sold by
public auction, are those of persons commissioned
to purchase only, and where the names of the real
purchasers have never been given, and can seldom
afterwards be discovered but by the means of
casual information on some subsequent sale of the
same pictures.
