them worthy of his name.

1196. A Landscape, intersected by a stream flowing towards
the front, the banks of which are overgrown with bulrushes and
other water-plants. A cottage upon the summit of a hill, with
a cluster of trees before it, is seen in the middle distance on
the right; and a second house, partly concealed by trees,
appears in the middle, but more remote from the spectator. In
the fore-ground are two women and two men; one of the former
is milking a cow, while the other is busy with the cans; the
men appear to be engaged in conversation with them.
Engraved by L. Van Uden.

1197- A Landscape, of an oval form, with a single figure of
a female seated in the middle, upon some drapery spread upon
the grass, leaning her head pensively on her hands; two sheep,
grazing on the bank of a river, are at a little distance from her.
Engraved by Coelmans.

1198. A woody Landscape, with a large company of men
and women, several of whom are dancing to the music of a
bagpipe.
Engraved by Charpentier.

1199- A hilly Landscape, with a high road on the right, at
the side of which are three peasants, one of whom is seated near

1200. A Landscape, intersected by a stream flowing by the
side of a high bank, upon the summit of which are four lofty
trees, these stand in the centre of the view; a second cluster of
trees is at the side, and upon a bank in front are three cows,
