316. A Waterfall. The view exhibits, as usual, a grand
mountainous country, through which a rapid stream rolls its
dark waters, which are precipitated between rocky projections
on the fore-ground. A hill on the right is richly clothed with
trees, clumps of which crown the rocky bank of the stream,
whose current flows across the middle distance, and terminates
in an angle of the rivulet. Two peasants are near the wood
already noticed, and in the distance may be descried figures and
cattle passing a wooden bridge; beyond these the eye encoun-

the brilliant tints of the upper hemisphere.
Now in the collection of --Martin, Esq., Ham Court.

in the centre. Into this rural scene, Philip Wouwermans has

near to the spectator, is a traveller with a pack at his back,
