DRAWINGS.
The Drawings by Albert Cuyp are usually done in Indian
ink, or black chalk ; and although they are by no means
common, yet the estimation in which they are held by
amateurs, is in no way commensurate with his pictures, or
indeed with the drawings of many others of the Dutch school.
In fact, his productions in this department of art, being
destitute of the charms of his colour and effect, have little,
either in the drawing of the animals, or in the composition,
to recommend them.
Cuyp executed a few small etchings of cows, which are done
in a neat and careful manner; and being somewhat scarce,
they are proportionably prized by the curious.
