SUPPLEMENT
TO THE WORKS OF
WILLIAM VANDER VELDE.

1. View on the Dutch Coast during a calm. The scene
presents, on the left and front, a narrow sand-bank, on
which a fisherman is kneeling, to examine the contents of a
basket; a small boat (only half of which is visible) lies close
to the shore: a little removed from these is a group com-
posed of a yacht and two fishing boats, and at the head of
the former is a small boat, full of passengers. On the
opposite side of the view are a treckschuit, a barge, and a
small boat, lying together. Various small craft are seen in
the distance.

2. A View on the Coast during a calm, but with the
appearance of a change of weather, the sky being overcast,
and the general aspect gloomy. The nearest object to the
spectator is a fishing smack, lying close to a sand-bank, with
eight men on board, and her masts and sails lying on the
deck ; a small boat, with one man in it, lies alongside of her.
On the right is a yacht, with her carved and gilt stern
towards the eye, and on her larboard side is a small vessel
under sail. Others are in the distance.
