seen some cottages and a windmill. A road from the
opposite side winds across surrounding plains, and a pond,
fringed with weeds, is on the right of the foreground. Two
men and a boy are on the road, and considerably beyond
these is a lad driving a few sheep.—Morning.

Sold by Messrs. Smith to Jas. Johnson, Esq. Manchester, 1838.
16. Bleaching Grounds. The view exhibits, on the right
of the picture, high sandy hills, covered in part with verdure,
and a few bushes and trees, which recede into the distance ;
a cottage, partly concealed by a jutting portion of the bank
and an oak tree, is at the side, and a pond ssows along the
base of it. On the opposite side and close to the front,
is a man on a chesnut horse, leading a white one ; they
appear to have just quitted the water, and are ascending the
bank, preceded by three dogs : these are by the pencil of
Wouwermans. The foreground is broken and picturesque,
and in a field serving for bleaching grounds, in the second
distance, are people tending the linen. The church of
Haarlem is seen in the distance. Painted with a free pen-
cil, and a crisp and sparkling touch.

variety and extent, exhibiting on the left of the picture, a
mountain of a broken and varied form, having a fence of
paling at the side of a precipice, near which browse a few
sheep ; beyond these is a woodman’s hut, with timber in
front of it; another cottage is seen amongst trees higher up
on the hill, and a third house is on a lower acclivity at the
side, from hence the eye descries a road, leading from the
