MR. BREDEL'S COLLECTION.
Letter XIX.
a woman is tailing off the animal. The effect of a light and cool
morning sky is admirably given in this careful picture. Inscribed.
Eglon Van der Neer.—A girl with a book seated before a
mirror. Both the head of the girl and the keeping show the
influence of Terburg. With all his transparency and delicacy, he
is emptier than his model. Inscribed and dated 1665.
Nicolas Maas.—A girl seated, making lace ; a front view.
The sunny lighting, and the deep full glow of the solid colour-
ing, render this a very attractive picture.
Wynants.—1. Two horses in the foreground, and a boy
angling in a pond. Poultry of various kinds before one of the
houses. The beauty of composition, the full green of the trees,
which approach Ruysdael in vigour, the delicacy of the distance,
and the careful execution, render this one of the most beautiful
works of the master. On panel, 1 ft. 2 in. high, 1 ft. 7 in. wide.
Inscribed.
2. A landscape, equally fine in composition and careful in exe-
cution, but singularly heavy in colour. Inscribed.
Albert Cuyp.—-View of a Dutch canal, in the style of Van
Goyen. A picture of great truth of nature and careful execution,
of the first period of the master.
Dusart.—A rather large picture, with houses and trees. For
composition, power, and transparency of colouring, a chef-d'oeuvre
of the master.
Ludolph Backhuysen.—An agitated sea, with vessels richly
and picturesquely arranged. A large vessel especially remarkable
in the centre. Transparent in colour and carefully finished.
Rubens.—Christ upon the globe, with four saints. A very
spirited sketch.
Jan Both.—An evening landscape with large trees in the fore-
ground. The gradations in the glowing light of the setting sun
are of singular power, transparency, and delicacy.
In addition to the pictures, I remarked three Greek vases, the
largest painted with a figure of Cupid approaching a female. Both
figures, in grace and beauty of action and purity of form, belong
to the finest specimens of the kind I have seen.
It is greatly to be hoped that the late possessor of this beautiful
collection may have made arrangements for its not being dis-
persed.
