ME, BALE'S COLLECTION.
Letter II.
2. Venus and Adonis. In sepia. Good.
3. A study of armour. In sepia, with pen and brush. Of
masterly and careful execution.
Albert Cuyp.—1. On the left a wood ; in the distance a
piece of water. Of broad and masterly drawing in chalk, and
washed in with sepia.
2. Study of a cow in sunshine. Masterly. In Indian ink.
3. A shepherd boy. Similar in treatment and value to the
foregoing.
Backhdysen.— An agitated sea, with a sailing-boat. Broad
and masterly. In Indian ink.
Berghem.—1, 2, 3. In the foreground a man on horseback,
with cattle in sunshine. In the centre a piece of water, in the
background a hill. Signed. Of great effect, and spiritedly drawn
in bistre. The two other drawings by this master belong to his
choicest specimens.
"A. Renesse, /. 1669."—This is the inscription on a portrait
of a boy of great truth of conception, and delicate but masterly
drawing, in black and red chalk, in the taste of Rembrandt, This
is the first specimen I have seen of this painter, although he is far
more entitled to a place in the dictionary of artists than many who
figure in it.
Janet.—A male portrait. Of very pronounced character, and
of masterly drawing, in his usual style, with black and red chalk.
Rembrandt.—1. The Annunciation. Cleverly composed, and
of great effect. Carefully executed in bistre.
2. A girl looking out of a window. Very pleasing, and of mas-
terly execution, with the pen and brush, in Indian ink and bistre.
3. A sheet with various subjects, among which a child crying
is remarkable. Broad and vigorous, with pen and bistre.
4. A landscape, with water in the foreground, on the banks of
which are houses. In Indian ink and bistre, and so carefully exe-
cuted that it has the effect of a picture.
5. A distant view. Lightly and spiritedly thrown on the paper
with sepia.
Lenain.—Various figures. Of animated conception, and power-
fully drawn in sepia.
Adrian van de Velde.—A shepherd, shepherdess, and horse-
men under a tree. Signed, and dated 1667. The chiaroscuro of
