clothed in part with trees, and having a church and a house
on its acclivity, and a mill and a tower on its summit, forms
the boundary of the view. A tree grows close to the left-
side.
About 10 in. by 12 in.—P.
Exhibited in the British Gallery, 1840. W. Evans, Esq.

76. A Waterfall. This capital picture resembles in its
composition several already described ; the foaming cataract
is divided in the middle by a rock, and is bounded on either
side by high rocky grounds ; those on the left are adorned
by a lofty pine tree, and connected with other hills, sweep
round receding, and form the limits to the river which
supplies the fall. On the right of the picture lies a fallen
fir tree, beyond which are seen two men busy with timber
which lies scattered on a sloping field, at the extremity of
which is a mountain clothed with three pine and other trees.
Two cottages are in the centre beyond the river. This pic-
ture strongly evinces the near approximation which occasion-
ally occurs in the works of Ruysdael to those of Everdingen.
About 3 st. by 3 st. 10.—C.
Exhibited in the British Gallery. The Earl of Lichsield.
Sold by Mr. G. Robins, 1842; 560 gs. Bought by S. Bond, Esq.

77. A Sea View during a brisk gale, and under the appear-
ance of rainy weather. On the right is a line of piles which
appear to form the entrance to a creek, from which a smack
has issued, and is scudding under a press of sail towards the
opposite side ; a second vessel of a similar description, but
smaller, is beyond her, and a ship in full sail is seen in the
distance. The steeple of a church and several small craft
are faintly perceived on the horizon. An admirable specimen.
About 1 st. 7^ by 2 st. 3.—C.
Exhibited in the British Gallery, 1840. And. Drummond, Esq.
