49. Batavia. This singular production of Cuyp exhibits.,
on the right of the picture, a gentleman and lady in black
dresses of the ancient Dutch costume ; the gentleman, who
is supposed to represent the first conqueror of Java, holds
his lady by the hand ; they are followed by a negro bearing
a parasol over their heads; a variety of plants indigenous to
the country embellish the foreground, and trees bearing
fruit rise behind the figures. The opposite side gives a view
of the Dutch sseet, at anchor off the city of Batavia, beyond
which rise and recede the distant hilly country of Java.
The fervid heat of the climate pervades every object.

This picture was sold at Rotterdam, by private hand, 1839,
to Mr. Nieuwenhuys, for a very insignificant sum, and was
purchased the same year, by the Right Hon. Lord Northwick,
for about 5001. The writer has here relied on the opinion of
others for the authenticity of this picture, as he has not had the
advantage of seeing it.
