SUPPLEMENT
TO THE WORKS OF
MINDERHOUT HOBBEMA.

1. A Traveller with a bundle. The view exhibits a rural
scene, with a road leading through the centre, on either side
of which are cottages embosomed in trees. The figures which
add to the interest of the piece consist of a traveller carrying
a bundle on a stick over his shoulder, approaching the front
from the left; other persons are visible in the distance. This
is a most pleasing example of the master.
About 1 st. 21 by \ st. 5.—P.
Exhibited in the British Gallery. Earl Granville.
2. A Boat with two Men in it. The composition of this
delightful work of art offers, in front, a translucent river, in
which are ressected with the happiest illusion the forms of
surrounding objects. A boat containing two persons appears
to glide smoothly along the stream, the farther bank of which
is adorned with three isolated clusters of trees, each of which
conceals in part some humble habitation. Those on the right
of the picture recede in succession into the distant landscape.
The light sseecy clouds which ssoat over the bright azure
complete the charm of this simple scene. This is an enviable
example of the master.
1/L 61 by 2 st. 1.—P.
Exhibited in the British Gallery, 1839.
In the Collection of Charles Bredel, Esq.
