45. A View of the Entrance to Leyden. The fore-ground
of the picture exhibits a large open space, intersected by a
road, fenced on either side by palisades, and leading direct
to the gate of the city, beyond which are seen the spire of
a church and the surrounding buildings. About twenty-five
figures, besides animals, by the pencil of Adrian Vander
Velde, are judiciously distributed over the road and adjacent
ground: the most conspicuous of these are a lady and gentle-
man going towards the town, of whom a boy is begging:
to the left of them is a cavalier bestowing alms on a poor
woman sittting by the railing: a little farther is a woman
with a flat basket under her arm; and at the extremity of the
rails are two men in conversation together. The appearance
of a fine summer’s day gives an additional charm to the scene.
