angling in the river, and another, with his rod and line, is
beyond him. On the right, the eye looks along a spacious
river which blends with the distant country.

Christie and Manson, 1841, 550 gs. Bought by Mr. Nieuwenhuys.
46. A view on the Maes, with the city of Dort, on the
left, receding in long perspective into the distant landscape.
Near the quay, and adjacent to the lofty towered church, are
two boats, in the nearest of these are five persons, and in
the other four; beyond them is a coasting vessel with her
mainsail up ; and in the opposite side is a merchant ship
without sails, riding at anchor; her dark hull is opposed to
the luminous effect of the far extending river, on which are
faintly perceived many small craft. Sunset.

47. Gentlemen on Horseback. This capital picture ex-
hibits an extensive view in the neighbourhood of the Rhine,
which divides the landscape on the right, a branch from which
ssows through the scene to the opposite side, where it is
crossed by a bridge composed of three arches, over which a
herdsman is driving three cows. Three gentlemen appear
to have just crossed it, and two of them are approaching the
foreground ; the third is still at the foot of the bridge ; the
middle one of these has halted, and is speaking to a woman,
standing on his right; beyond whom, and about thecentre of
the view, is a clump of trees ; and still more remote and on the
right of the picture, is a herd of six cows, with several sheep,
and two herdsmen ; from hence the eye looks over the Rhine,
