119. A View of a Church, of Gothic architecture, and
adjoining houses. This excellent production is distinguished
from others by a canal extending along the front, on which is
a boat with two men in it, and on its bank is a small low
building, of neat appearance, like a chapel or Prie dieu, sur-
mounted by a cross. A four-wheel waggon without a horse is
near the boat, and at some distance off is a coach and pair. A
woman is going towards the church, from whence two priests
are coming. The figures are by Adrian Vander Velde.

group of trees in the fore-ground, followed by a dog. Near
the arched door of a building on the left, is a gentleman, in a
Turkish dress, on a gray horse, the bridle of which is held
by a man, while several persons appear to follow him. An
exquisitely-painted picture.

Velde. On the right is a large house, or conventual building,
distinguished by a spire, adjoining which are several small

scene are by the hand of Adrian Vander Velde, and consist
