MINDERHOUT HOBBEMA.
3. A Landscape, with a river ssowing along the foreground,
and a rustic bridge over it, abutting on either side against
high rugged banks ; a red-tiled cottage is at the side, in
front of which is a road skirted with trees ; considerably
beyond the bridge are two low cottages, backed by clumps of
trees; and in the distance are perceived the steeples of
churches, indicating the proximity of a large town. A pea-
sant is in the road adjacent to the river. A fine day.
\st. 3| by \ft. 9|.-C.
Exhibited in the British Gallery, 1836. The Earl of Burlington.
4. A Watermill and Cottages. This admirable picture
exhibits a view of some rural hamlet in Holland. On the
right are luxuriant clusters of umbrageous trees, between
which may be discerned an overshot watermill; a cottage,
of a picturesque appearance, embosomed in trees, occupies
the centre of the view, the inhabitant of which stands at the
half-door, conversing with a villager. Within the shade of
overhanging trees on the left, is a second cottage, with a
thatched roof. A high road from the front divides the scene,
and leads to the distant landscape. The picture is farther
identified by a man and a boy standing in conversation with
a traveller seated by the road-side, and a man in a scarlet
jacket near a pool of water on the right. The brilliancy of
a summer’s afternoon completes the charm of the scene.
About 3 ft. by 4 st. 2.—C.
Exhibited in the British Gallery, 1837. Earl of Burlington.
5. A Woman gathering rushes. A landscape, representing
a well-wooded country, divided in the centre by a river, which
ssows towards the front; two large trees grow on the left
bank of the stream, beyond which is a grove. On the same
side, and near the spectator, are two peasants standing in
