the collection of the Duke of Baden), and sold to Mr. Emmerson.
In the possession of Mr. Artis, 1835.
183. A Marine View, during a gentle breeze. A handsome
galley, bearing the royal standard, and having persons of dis-
tinction on board, and rowed by eight sailors, assisted by
a triangular-shaped sail, is in front. On the opposite side is
a pleasure yacht, represented in a fore-shortened view, carrying
main and jib sails. Beyond this is a ship of war at anchor,
and several other vessels are distributed over the more distant
scene. The effect of a fine evening prevails.

weather. The composition exhibits, on the right and front,
two fishing boats, the nearest of which has a white main-sail
hanging loosely on the yards, and a red one drawn up, and five
men on board ; a small boat with a fishing basket in it is close
alongside of them, and near a mooring post at the side is
another small boat with a fisherman in it. On the left of the
picture is a small coaster lying alongside a merchant ship, and
beyond these are boats and other vessels. A line of coast is
visible in the distance. A clear and beautiful production.
