58. A Fruit Shop. A young woman, in a brown dress,
at an arched window, with her hand on a basket of dried
plums, apparently bargaining for a rope of onions, which the
proprietor of the shop has just taken from a basket, and is
holding up to view. The usual variety of appropriate objects
are introduced. These are choice examples of the master’s
works. Description, No. 72, Vol. I, p. 104, corrected.
16s in. by 15.—P.
In the Collection of Henry Thomas Hope, Esq.
59. A Lady, attired in a yellow silk dress, standing at a
window, cheapening a fowl of a young woman, who holds it
up to view. A piece of green velvet is thrown over the sill,
and a little spaniel lies asleep on it. This is an exquisitely
finished picture.

In the Collection of Henry Thomas Hope, Esq.
60. The Dealer in Fish. A young man, dressed in a grey
jacket and a brown hat, standing at a table, on which are
two baskets, and in one of them are two haddocks; a third
fish of the same kind he holds up to the view of the spectator
in his left hand, while his right contains a knife. The back-
ground represents a landscape. Dated 1723.—The Companion.
61. A Young Woman, wearing a striped gown, a red bod-
dice, and a dark velvet cap or bonnet, standing before a
bank, holding up to view in her left hand some crimped
ssounders, and her right hand placed on a basket containing

ter’s best works.
