front is a thin man, standing with his hands behind his back,
observing the ceremony ; he has on a fur cap, and wears a

8ft. 1 in. by 6 ft. 1 in.—C.
Valued by the Experts du Musee, in 1816, at 100,000/5. 4000Z.

with a lantern in his hand, by daylight, for an honest man.

6 ft. 1 in. by 7 ft. 8 in.—C.
Valued by the Experts du Musee, in 1816, at 70,000 fs. 28001.
A duplicate of the preceding is in the Munich Gallery.—See p. 60.
396. A Tournament of six armed Knights, near the walls of
a fortified town; they are attended by a herald and two pages.
The landscape is beautifully illumined by the rays of the setting
sun. This is a masterly-finished sketch, of extraordinary beauty.
2 st. 3 in. by 3 ft. 8 in.—P.
Valued by the Experts du Musee, in 1816, at 20,000fs. 8001.
397. A Landscape, represented under a singular effect of the
sun upon a fog, which is seen rolling in volumes over the banks
of a stream. The view presents on the right a cluster of trees
rising from a rugged bank, from one of these trees a net is ex-
tended across an opening, and attached to another tree nearer
the front; the owner of the net sits on the bank, watching the
approach of some birds; and two ladies and a gentleman are
reposing on the ground in front, observing him. In the centre
of the fore-ground are two men sawing a piece of timber; and
upon an eminence in the middle-distance is a windmill.
