98. A picturesque rural Scene, abounding in trees, and
enlivened by the rustic dwellings of peasantry. The com-
position offers, in the centre, a cottage approached by a
winding road from the front. Two men are on the road, one
of whom is seated, and a third person is near the door of the
house, at which a woman is standing. Two old leassess trees,
and a pile of bundles of reeds, are on one side of the road,
and five lofty umbrageous trees are on the other, between the
trunks of which are seen two cottages.
1 ft. 9 in. by 2 ft. 3 in.—P.
Now in the collection of Philip Henry Hope, Esq.
99- A Landscape, with a cottage standing near the centre
of the view, in the second distance, backed by a large grove
of trees, which occupies the greater portion of the picture;
a cluster of lofty elms adorns the left and front. The figures
which animate the scene consist of a man and a woman, who
are seen descending a road on the right, which traverses the
fore-ground, and intersects another road leading into the
distance: on the same road is a man on a gray horse going
towards the cottage, at the door of which are seated a man
and a woman. Signed, and dated 1663 or 7.
3 st. 4 in. by 4 ft. 3 in.—C.
Now in the possession of Thomas Emmerson, Esq.
100. A richly-wooded Landscape. The view offers the
Usual scene which this master chiessy represented. A cluster
of trees occupies the right of the picture, and a high road
from the front winds through the country. A cottage embo-
somed in trees stands on the left. The fore-ground is
admirably diversified with picturesque objects, and the few
figures which enliven the landscape are by his own hand.
Signed, and dated 1663.
3 ft. 2 in. by kft.—C. (about.)
Now in the possession of Charles Cobbe, Esq., Dublin.
