140. The Angler. The view exhibits a chateau, partly
concealed by trees, and approached by a road on the left,
skirted with trees, and on the right is a moat, bounded by a
shrubbery. The figures which animate the scene are by
Adrian Vander Velde, and consist of a lady and a gentleman
standing together near a tree, observing a youth who is seated
on a bank fishing; his dog at the same time sits behind him.
A man with a basket on his back, accompanied by a boy, is on
the road, and near the house are two other persons, one of
whom is a poor woman asking charity. This is a well-finished
picture.

beech ; beyond these is a cluster of fine trees. The opposite
side offers a bald open country, traversed by a winding road,
in front of which is a gentleman dressed in blue, riding a white
horse, having his back to the spectator, and followed by a dog;
he appears to have halted to speak to two men, one of whom is
seated, and the other stands by, pointing to some distant
object. Considerably beyond these is a post waggon and pair,
approaching, the passengers in which are importuned by beg-
gars at the side. These are by the pencil of Adrian Vander
