In the Collection of Madame Hoffman, Haarlem.

70. A Waterfall. The view represents a hilly country,
with a river on the right, which ssows placidly through the
middle, and thence falls in two divisions among rocky frag-
ments on the left, and gurgles along a portion of the fore-
ground. A long rustic bridge composed of planks, is thrown
across the fall, supported in the centre and on either side by
huge stones ; the receding landscape is well wooded, and the
opposite side gives an open view over a wild moor, on which
are seen two cottages. A man with a bundle on his back is
crossing the bridge, and three persons are on the bank of the
river. The general effect is that of rainy weather.

71. A Waterfall. This picture is distinguished from others
by a peasant driving a few sheep over a rustic bridge, and a
man and a woman crossing another bridge, the latter of
whom has a bundle on her head ; the other portions of the
scene correspond so nearly with some already described,
that it admits of no decided identification. Imported from
Germany, by Mr. Murch, 1836.
