JACOB RUYSDAEL.
56. A View on the Hollands Deep during the prevalence of
a strong breeze and a rolling sea. This admirable picture
exhibits on the left a breakwater, composed of planks and
piles, against which the waves dash with tremendous force,
scattering abroad foaming masses of dazzling spray, and
regurgitating in trembling eddies along the front. Beyond a
dark shadow extending along the centre, are two coasters,
one of which, with a red main and a white foresail, is dash-
ing along with a fair wind ; the second is more distant, and
on a different tack, bending to the gale. A distant town,
with a church, is faintly descried on a line of low coast,
which forms a boundary to the scene. The hemisphere is
nearly covered with broad masses of clouds, tinged with the
glow of an autumnal morning.
1 ft- 6 by 1 st. 9sC.
Sold by Mr. Grittin, 1841, for 200Z.
Now in the Collection of William Theobald, Esq.
57. View of a Ruin and a Cascade of Water. See de-
scription, No. 282, Vol. vi.
Formerly in the Collection of George Watson Tayler, Esq., and
now in that of Charles Cope, Esq.
58. View over a ssat country, divided by a winding road,
on either side of which are corn-fields, and in the distance
are seen the tower of a church and a windmill. On the right
of the foreground, are a woman seated under shelter of some
paling, and a man standing by her; a little retired from
these is a traveller approaching on the road, and beyond him
are a woman and child. A gleam of sunshine tends to cheer
the monotony of a cloudy day. An admirable production.
1 st- by 1 st. 4.—C.
Exhibited in the British Gallery, 1837. The Earl of Burlington.
