159. A View on the Sea-shore. This free and clever produc-
tion of the master may be known by a sandy beach occupying
the front-ground and right of the picture. Two men, one of
whom is seated, are on a shelving bank ; and beyond them are
two sailors in a fishing boat lying on the sands; and a third
is in the water, pulling his little skiff into the sea: these,
together with two other small vessels, lie alongside a wooden
pier which extends two-thirds across the picture. Near the
margin of the sea, on the left, is a man with a long pole, and
beyond him is a row-boat, full of people, approaching. The
appearance is that of a fine day.

160. Rustic Courtship. The view exhibits a woody and
sequestered scene with a stream along the front, in which is a
red cow with a white face standing in a side view; on the
bank beyond her are three sheep and a lamb lying down
together: and a little retired from these, on the left, is a
peasant, wearing a red jacket, seated with his arms round the
waist of a woman, at whose side lies a dog; beyond them is
a red cow browsing near a large tree. Besides these may be
noticed three more sheep and a heifer; and other cattle are
faintly perceived at some distance off, in the shade. Dated
1672.
