8. A Maid showing her mistress a fish. This admirable
picture represents a paved court, and little garden at the back
of a neat Dutch house, the mistress of which, wearing a plain
cap, a black velvet jacket, and a scarlet skirt, is seated in the
court, enjoying the beauty of a fine summer’s morning ; and,
while engaged at her needle, a young woman has attracted
her attention, by bringing a fine pike in a brass pail for her
inspection. The servant has on a black cap, a whitish jacket,
a purple gown, and a blue apron. A railing encloses the
court beyond, which is a brick path leading to a doorway
and the adjacent gracht.

In the Hermitage Palace. Worth 450Z.
4. A Maid scouring a pot. A view in the back court of a
Dutch house, at the extremity of which is a passage through
the building, leading to a second court; which is bounded
by another building. On the foreground of the former court
is the mistress, with a child in her arms, apparently speaking
to a maid, who is on her knees scouring a pot. A greyhound
follows the mistress. In addition to these, may be noticed a
man coming from a side door in the passage. This is a well-
finished but not a luminous picture.

5. The empty Jug. Three gentlemen in a room ; one of
them, habited in a blue coat with scarlet sleeves, and wearing
a drab hat and feathers, is seated in front, with a pipe in his
hand, looking archly at the landlady, who has just replenished
his glass, and showing that the jug is empty by turning it
bottom upwards. The other two cavaliers are near a fire in
