child, and at the same time caressing a pet dog ; near these
is a servant busy with some fish, and through a doorway of
an adjacent house may be observed a domestic at her culinary
occupations. On the opposite side is an avenue in which

17. A View of a Dutch Mansion and Flower Garden,
represented under the appearance of a fine summer’s morn-
ing. Upon a pathway which divides the garden, is a lady,
in a red jacket and a blue skirt, attended by a dog, going
towards the house, near the door of which are the owners of
the mansion; the gentleman is playing on a pipe, while the
lady stands by listening. On the opposite side is a wall and
some trellis-work overgrown with shrubs ; beyond which are
trees. On either side of the path in front, are borders of
rose trees and other ssowers, whose brilliant colours sparkle
in the sunshine. This appears to be an early work of the
artist, as it is painted in a neat and careful style.
