 assembled to regale themselves; in the half 
 distance are boors playing at skittles, and more

 principal group, the artist has introduced a Por- 
 trait of himself seated in a chair, with a pipe 
 in his right hand, and his left resting on a cask, 
 waiting to receive a glass of beer from the at- 
 tendant hostess, with whom he appears to be 
 conversing in a strain of humorous familiarity, 
 which a boy standing near seems equally to 
 enjoy. The attention expressed in the coun- 
 tenance of the hostess is not inferior to the 
 characteristic humour given by the artist to the 
 faithful portrait of himself. The other figures, 
 the dog, and the various accessorial objects, 
 tend to heighten the interest of this exquisite 
 gem of art

 introduced the ruins of an Abbey and its 
 consecrated grounds; a rivulet rushes im- 
 petuously through the fore ground, and a 
 shattered tree rent by the storm reclines over its 
 course. On the right a majestic clump of trees 
 are judiciously placed to shelter the tombs and 
 other accessories from the violence of the tem- 
 pest, which the artist has herein so faithfully 
 described, and wherein he has left nothing 
 undone that could contribute to heighten the

 grandeur, and improve the magic effect of this 
 noble effort of bis inimitable powers. The form 
 and tone of colouring of the clouds and rainbow 
 are appropriate and correctly harmonize with 
 the greatness of the subject, to the perfection of 
 which the artist has lent the whole of his match- 
 less talents.

 /o ^Claude Lorraine 57 A grand Italian LANDSCAPE, in whicli the 
 
 Artist has introduced an Historical Subject 
 from Ovid. 
 
 This pleasing and enchanting Scene, distin- 
 guished for its repose and sweet serenity of air, 
 has ever been esteemed the happiest selection 
 of Landscape painted by this Artist, and is truly 
 characteristic of the clime of Italy. 
 
 The rich foreground to the left is embellished 
 with an Old Castle, and other Architectural fea- 
 tures. The receding distances are majestically 
 treated ; and the perspective scenery and inter- 
 secting River, are lost in the aerial tone for 
 which this master is exclusively famed, and 
 which in this picture he has so happily realised. 
 
 On the right of the beautiful Landscape is a 
 group of Nymph and Satyr reposing, and a 
 Shepherd with his Flock 
 
 This chef-d'ouvre stamps its authenticity as 
 the perfection of the master, and the acme of 
 his art. 
 
 It adorned for many years the gallery of the 
 late Mons. de Calonne, Minister of France, 
 at whose Sale in 1795 it was purchased by Lord 
 Berwick, and from whom Mr. Zachary 
 bought it. 
 
 Size of picture 5 feet by 3 feet, and with the

 i58 THE CELEBRATED WATER-MILL. A 
 5 rich and beautiful Woody Landscape, in 
 
 whicb the artist has happily introduced HIS 
 CELEBRATED WATER MiLL, situated on the 
 borders of a running stream, whereon is a boat 
 and figures unlading its stores ; on the left of the 
 landscape is a group of Cottages on the side of 
 a road which passes thro’ the wood ; in the fore 
 ground, on the right, a sportsman dressed in red, 
 is shooting at wild fowl, and a herdsman driv- 
 ing cattle {by Berghem) between a clump of 
 trees, judiciously introduced. 
 
 This picture has ever ranked a chef d’ouvre 
 of the master, and known by the name of “ The 
 Water Mill;” — for beauty of composition, faith- 
 ful delineation of nature, and elaborate finish, it 
 cannot be surpassed. 
 
 The real works of this artist are unusually 
 scarce, and pre-eminently esteemed, particu- 
 larly when to be found of the rich and high 
 quality of this brilliant specimen, which is 
 in point of preservation, as perfect as at the 
 moment the artist dismissed it from his easel. 
 Formerly in the Collection q/" Mr. OffLey, and 
 latterly, until purchased by Mr. Zachary, in the 
 Gallery of Mr. Eycoot 
 
 Size of picture 4 feet 4 by 3 feet 3, and with the

 /J>/r _ Albert Cuyp.,,, 61 A MAGNIFICENT LANDSCAPE. 
 
 On the border of a beautiful lak e, over which 
 the artist has diffused with exquisite manage- 
 ment, all that glow and vapour portending heat, 
 with a clearness and transparency of execution 
 so peculiar to himself, ''are seen a CAVALIER 
 on HORSEBACK, who appears conversing 
 with a Peasant, and pointing to the beauties 
 of the distant scenery. 
 
 The fore ground of the Paysage is formed by 
 a rich acclivity, planted with trees and inter- 
 sected by a road, along which a HERDSMAN is 
 driving a group of CATTLE ; painted with his 
 usual freedom and truth of drawing, and vieing 
 in colour with the best works of Both, 
 
 The superior powers of CuTP in giving 
 EFFECT are highly exemplified by this select 
 specimen of his art; the figures and cattle are 
 happily and unobtrusively placed, and harmonize 
 with the combination of excellencies which mark 
 this matchless specimen of the master, whose 
 works are daily becoming more scarce, from 
 the avidity with which every collector of taste 
 seeks to possess them, and particularly those on 
 the continent 
 
 This picture may truly be termed a chef 
 d'ceuvre of the master — from Mr. Crawfurd’s 
 Collection. 
 
 Size of picture 4 feet 11 by 3 feet 6, and with the
