DRAWINGS,
John Hackaert has left many examples of his ability in
water colours, or rather in indian ink, sometimes slightly tinted
with colours: these are done with a light and free hand, and
resemble in every respect his pictures.
Two of this kind were sold in the collection of M. de Vos, at
Amsterdam, in 1833, sor 3^1.

ETCHINGS.
His works in aqua-fortis consist of six pieces (size about
8 in. by 7 in.) and are described by Bartsch as follows:—
1. The Hamlet. On the left is a stone bridge, composed of
a single arch, adjoining which is a round tower, &c.
2. The winding Road. The composition is remarkable for
a large old tree, standing in the centre of the view, on the
bank of a brook.
3. The narrow Brook. A very similar composition to the
preceding.
4. The sloping Tree. A river winds through the landscape,
and ssows along the front-ground.
5. The four Trees. This landscape is distinguished by
four trees, which occupy nearly the centre of the view.
6. The Rock with a River at its base. In the centre of the
view stands a man with his back to the spectator, who appears
to be in conversation with an angler.
