WILLIAM VANDER VELDE. 773
56. Engagement between the English and Dutch Fleets,
in 1665. See description, No. 254, Vol. vi.
This capital picture was destroyed, with many other works of art
forming the Gallery of Mr. Yates, in the conssagration of the
Western Exchange, 1836.

57. A View on a river in Holland, under the appearance
of a calm and early morning. This little picture is distin-
guished by a small portion of shore, on the left, where three
sailors are seen, one of whom is in a boat; a second is stoop-
ing on the sands near him: a little distant from these are
two yachts,—one, having a mainsail, lies with her broadside
to the spectator. In the centre is a row-boat, full of people,
going towards the right, where two coasting vessels are at
anchor, and a small boat, with two men in it, is in front of
them: other small craft are faintly descried in the distance.

58. A View from the shore, looking seaward, under the
appearance of early morning and calm weather. The scene
presents, on the right, three men in the water, pushing their
smack off the sands; beyond is a breakwater of piles; still more
remote, and in the centre of the view, is a small vessel with
main and foresails up ; and on the farther side of this object
is a boat full of people ; a second boat, containing five persons,
is on the left, and a sloop is beyond it. This picture may be
farther identified by a fisherman, with a basket at his back,
walking on the sands close to the sront.
