122. A View of the Palace at Brussels, with its gardens,
and adjoining buildings. The palace is seen in a perspective
view, occupying the summit of a high terrace on the left.
The garden is laid out in the uniform style of that period,
and is bounded by walls and buildings, above which rises the
tower of the church of St. Gudule. Adrian Vander Velde
has given additional interest to the picture, by the intro-
duction of numerous figures, and five stags, the latter of
which are in an enclosure on the right.
1 ft. 4| in. by 2 ft. in.—P.
Now in the gallery at Hesse Cassel.
123. A View of an open Place or Square, said to be that
of Henskirk, near Haarlem. The right of the picture is
occupied by a large handsome church, os modern construction,
having at the angle a square tower, surmounted by a dome
and lantern, at the base of which is an old house, partly
concealed by trees. On the same side, and close to the front,
is a house with its gable to the spectator, having a pent over
the door, and a shed at its side. The extremity of the square
is bounded by a house, the view of which is partly intercepted
by trees. The pencil of Adrian Vander Velde has animated
the scene with about twenty-three figures : of these, the most
prominent are a woman with a basket of vegetables on her
head, another woman holding a child on a cock-horse, which
a boy is drawing, and another boy looking on ; beyond these
are three men, two of whom are seated on some timber,
and a third appears to be speaking to a gentleman on
near the front, a man standing by the side os a dwars wall,
and two men sitting on it. Engraved in the Musee Francais.
