ADDENDA
TO THE
WORKS OF JACOB RUYSDAEL.

334. A Landscape, presenting a sequestered scene, with
a pond on the left, overgrown with aquatic weeds, and fringed
with ssags. The opposite side is composed of a forest, which

may be conspicuously seen a crooked beech, growing in the

sheep browse beneath the trees. Done in lithography.
Now in the Royal Gallery at Munich.

Done in lithography.
Now in the Royal Gallery at Munich.
