vessel, with three sailors in it lowering the main-sail: a second

267. A View near the Dunes, in the environs of Haarlem.
A cottage, partly concealed by two withered trees and a reed
fence, against which lies an old cart wheel, is on the right:
a pool of water is in front of the house, over which is laid
a plank, which a peasant is about to cross. At some distance
off’, on the opposite side, is a low cottage, sheltered by a few
stunted trees and a sand-hill. The indication of rain gives
a gloomy aspect to the scene.

268. A Landscape, representing a country of a sandy soil,
and a broken and undulating surface. A pool of water is in
the centre of the fore-ground, and a hedge row and three
clumps of trees bound the view in the second distance,
beyond which appears the roof of a cottage. A man, accom-
panied by a boy and a dog, serves to animate the scene.

269- A View on the Amstel at Amsterdam, with its large
canal occupying a considerable portion of the picture. The
composition may further be distinguished by a road in the
centre, on which are several persons, and also by a raft of
timber with a small vessel near it, from which a gun is being
fired. The opposite side exhibits three windmills, several houses,
and a bleaching ground. The city, with its many churches
and public buildings, extends along the distance.
