MINDERHOUT HOBBEMA.
101. Peasants in conversation on a high road. A landscape,
with a clump of trees upon a rugged bank in the middle,
and a winding road by their side, leading to a cottage standing
among a cluster of trees; at the half-door of which is a
woman : a second cottage is seen on the same line, close to the
right, and a wood hove], with some timber lying near it, is on
the left. The figures consist of a man and a boy in chat
with a man sitting on the trunk of a tree by the road-side:
beyond these is a man accompanied by a dog, and a little
farther are a man and a woman approaching. This picture is
signed, and dated 1665.
2 ft. ^in. by 3 ft, 3 in.—C.
Collection of George Vivian, Esq. 1833. (Christie) 380 gs.
Now in the collection of Charles Heusch, Esq.
The preceding is perhaps the picture which was sold in the
collection of Sir George Yonge, Bart, in 1806, for 400 gs.
102. A Water-Mill, &c. A Landscape, with a large cot-
tage on the right, and a water-mill adjoining it, at the side of
which is a dam or sluice, and a rustic bridge over it. A
stream of water covers the opposite side of the picture, and
ssows round a hill, on which are some cottages and trees, and
is traversed by a rude bridge, over which a peasant is passing.
The spire of the village church rises amidst trees in the
distance. The scene is enlivened by a few ducks on the
water, and a man on its bank angling.
2ft. 2| in. by 2 st. 7 in.-—C.
Exhibited in the British Gallery in 1821.
Now in the collection of the Marquis of Bute, at Luton.
103. A View of a Hamlet, situate in a well-wooded country.
The centre of the picture is occupied by a cluster of lofty
umbrageous trees, beyond which, the ground rises to a broad
hill bounded by a thick wood. On the right is a high road,
which leads to the distant country, and near the front stands
a large barn with a wooden fence in front of it, beyond which
