of the Virgin, with the Infant in her arms, stands in the
centre of the garden. The figures which animate the scene
are by the hand of Adrian Vander Velde. The chief group
represents a procession of priests advancing from the chapel
towards the front, where two pilgrims appear to await its
arrival. A monk of the Cistercian order, accompanied by a
gentleman, and a youth with a dog, are passing by the side
of a formal dwarf hedge towards the procession.

114. A View on a Canal of a Town in Holland, looking
towards a bridge, beyond which is seen the upper part of
a handsome church, of modern construction. Two swans are
on the water, and a large ssat-bottom barge lies alongside
the quay, which is adorned with a row of trees, and partly
conceals the houses. The figures, which are by the pencil of
Adrian Vander Velde, consist of a woman sitting near the
door of a house, with a child in her arms, of whom a poor
man is begging : two gentlemen are also at the doors of other
houses.

horse drawing a sledge with three casks, on which a man sits
of the Virgin, with the Infant in her arms, stands in the
