23 Landscape.—Three cows in a meadow bounded by 4
thickets, with the town of Dort on the other side of a piece
of water. Not a very excellent or pleasing picture. The
neck of the grey cow forms a very unpleasing line, and
the foreground is heavy and dark in the tone.
C. 4 ft. 4 in. by 6 ft. 7| in. (Smith’s Cat. 243.)
24 Landscape.—A group of four cows, (two lying down, 5
and two standing) by the side of a clear river ; near
them, the herdsman and his wife, seated on a bank ; other
cows in the water, near the ruins of a castle ; some
ducks in the foreground. It is a most faithful and pleasing
representation of Dutch scenery, painted with remarkable
freshness and clearness ; altogether a most charming pic-
ture, in Cuyp’s best style.
Baring collection. C. 3 ft. 1 in. by 4 ft. 4| in. (Smith’s Cat. 242.)
25 A Gentleman and Lady—riding in a forest, appa- 6
rently portraits. Purchased in 1811, for 50 guineas, from
the collection of Philip Hill, Esq.
P. 2 ft. 3j in. by 1 ft. 9 in. (Smith’s Cat. 245.)
26 Two Cavalry Soldiers—one of whom has dismounted, 7
and is talking to a peasant. In the foreground a dog
asleep. The head of one of the horses is rather small. The
execution is otherwise careful, and the effect of the warm
evening light masterly.
P. I ft. 2| in. by 1 ft. in. (Smith’s Cat. 244.)
27 Ducks on a River.—Life size. From Lord Hertford’s 8
collection.
C. 1 ft. 7 in. by 2 ft. 11| in. (Smith’s Cat. 246.)
28 View on the River Dort.—A transport, with many 9
persons on board, on the point of lying-to ; other vessels
beyond it, at different distances. Though this picture,
from the masterly treatment, reminds us of the fine work
of Cuyp in the Bridgewater gallery, it is much inferior in
