ADDENDA
TO THE
WORKS OF JOHN VANDER HEYDEN.
125. A View of a Town, apparently Nemwygen, situate on
the declivity of a mountain, and distinguished by the tower of
a church, a building with a bow front, and a bridge over a
moat to its entrance. The opposite side ossers a fertile valley,
with a river winding through it. The sigures which animate
the scene are by Adrian Vander Velde, and consist chiessy of
a man on horseback, with a woman up behind him, accompa-
nied by a man on foot, followed by a dog: more to the right
are two men near a large stone, and a little way from these is
a sportsman. This is a highly-sinished production.

Now in the collection of William Crerie, Esq., Manchester.
126. A View in a Dutch Town. This excellent picture
exhibits on the spectator s left, a brick house of a picturesque
appearance, adjoining a large church ; the former appears to
be occupied by a druggist, and the owner of the shop is near
the door, mixing something on a stove-fire, and at the same
time his attention is directed to an old man who is coming
towards him ; beyond these are a woman and a child passing
the door of the church. The view from hence looks into an
open place, in which are seen two ladies, two priests, and many
other persons. A handsome edifice enclosed by a wall, having
a tower and turret, which are partly concealed by a clump of
trees, form the boundary of the place. The figures are by
the pencil of Eglon Vander Neer.
