144. A pleasing Landscape. A woman, with a child in her
lap, is seated in front of a cottage, apparently talking to a man,
who has brought her some vegetables, which are lying on the
ground; several pots, kettles, tubs, &c., are near the house ;
more remote are other figures. A village, and some hills, are
in the distance.

145. A Corps de Garde. The principal figure in the pic-
ture is a youth, dressed in green ; he is in the act of hanging
up a pair of pistols in holsters ; farther in the room, and before
a chimney, are several other figures, warming themselves and
playing at cards ; a woman is entering at a side-door, with a
plate in her hand. A number of helmets, cuirasses, and mili-
tary implements, and a buff saddle, add to the beauty of the
fore-ground. Dated 1647.

146. The Companion, representing a similar subject. In
the centre of the room is a youth, habited in a pale brown dress
with yellow sleeves, stooping and beating a drum ; amidst a va-
riety of armour and military weapons, placed on each side, is a
complete suit of armour, hanging on a stand; there are also a
scarlet velvet saddle, and a mortar, on a carriage. In a retired
part of the room are four soldiers, round a table; and two
others quitting at an arched door. This is an excellent example
of the master. Dated 1652.
