in the foreground, two woodcutters, three children, and a
woman.

99 A Village Scene.—To the left a group of lofty trees,
behind them a cottage; further off is another cottage, and
at the door a woman conversing with a man. Two other
cottages on the right. On a log by the road side a tra-
veller is reposing, and a lady and gentleman are advancing.
In the distance are a sportsman mounted, and his attendant
on foot, with hawks. Formerly in the possession of M.
Fizian, of Amsterdam.

graved by Mason.
KONINGH (Philip), b. 1619 ; d. 1689. [This is the same delightful
painter whose picture in the Sutherland Gallery is noticed p. 206.)
100 Landscape.—A view over the flat open country in the
north of Holland; a group of cattle and a stream in the
foreground. The effect of leagues of land, and space, and
air, is conveyed with the greatest mastery of hand; other-
wise uninteresting. C. 4 ft. 2 in. by 5 ft. 6 in.

101 Landscape.—A view over the meadows of a dairy farm
near the Hague; the effect that of a warm sunny after-
noon. Five cows, a bull, and three sheep, are dispersed
in front of a farm-house, near which is a row of pollard
willows, their shadows lengthening in the sun. In the
distance a chateau. A girl milking one of the cows is
conversing with the herdsman. On the other side of the
row of willows, a gentleman and lady, the proprietors of
the chateau, are walking in a meadow, the cattle feeding
round them. In point of workmanship and colouring, in
the imitation of simple rural nature, it seems impossible to
go beyond this picture. It is as if the painter had dipped
his pencil in sunshine; and all is so soft, so free, so facile-
rying hawks, proceeding along the road. There are also
in the foreground, two woodcutters, three children, and a
