trees, and divided by a road, which is intersected by a ravine,
having a bridge of boards over it, which a woman and a boy,
preceded by six sheep, are crossing; and beyond them are two
men at the turn of the road, on the right of which is a ssight
of steps cut in the rock which leads to a red-tiled cottage. On
the opposite side is a river which divides the country in an
oblique direction. An old castle and fortress occupy the
summit of a rocky mountain which bounds the stream. A
clear and excellent production.

Now in the collection of Richard Hall, Esq.
285. A Coast Scene, represented under the appearance of a
strong gale and approaching rain. A sand-bank, defended by
posts, is on the right; and near the centre of the view is a
fishing boat, beyond which a second vessel is seen, of a similar
description.
1 st. 8 in. by 2 ft. 2 in.—sabout.)
286. Companion. A View off the Coast, during a fresh
breeze. The principal objects which meet the eye are two
fishing boats, one of which is near the front. A town, and
the low coast of Holland, are seen in the distance.
Now in the collection of the Duke of Rutland, at Belvoir.
287. A View on the Coast of Schevening, during a fresh
breeze, and the appearance of approaching rain. Among the
numerous figures which animate the scene, is a beggar woman
with a child at her back, following two gentlemen; and in
advance of these are a lady and gentleman. Two fishing boats
are on the right, and the opposite side is bounded by the Dunes,
or sand hills.
