 Shed, and a Female on the Steps of the Inn behind : 
 
 ✓ #

 coloured with warm and ripe effect, and finished to 
 illusion. This and the companion Picture are in the 
 very finest time of this inimitable Painter. 
 
 V. der Werf . 48 The Roman Charity—this subject, often treated by various 
 
 Italian Masters, has received novelty from the pencil 
 of V. der Werf; the attitude of the female is not. 
 
( 9 ) 
 
 only drawn with perfect elegance, but is highly natural 
 and pleasing—this Picture is a remarkable specimen of 
 of the exquisite high finishing for which V. der Werf 
 was particularly famed,

 figures are painted with great spirit, and coloured in 
 the rich manner of Watteau, whom Dietrich has evi¬ 
 dently imitated 
 
 Claude. .... 52 A Beautiful Italian Landscape, Warm Evening Scene; 
 
 a group of Military Figures advancing through a 
 
 i l— 
 
 Thick Wood on elevated Ground to the right, seem 
 to have given alarm to some Peasants in the Fore¬ 
 ground, who are hastily driving off their Cattle; 
 a River with Buildings, a Mill and Bridge, form the 
 Objects in the left part of the picture—The intense 
 heat of a Summer Evening is very naturally diffused 
 through every part of the Scene ; the foliage is touched 
 with lightness and delicacy.

 Stream, and Peasants reposing—painted in a loose and 
 free manner with a very spirited Pencil. 
 
 54 A GRAND SEA PIECE with Vessels of War in a River, 
 
 ■v 
 
 one of which with a Cutter alongside it; the bustle on

 are admirably grouped. It is of Backhuysen’s very 
 • finest time and manner —capital. 
 
 55 A View of thh Forum in Rome; a Market Scene, with 
 
 many Figures engaged in various occupations, highly 
 characteristic of the People ;—painted in a clear and 
 lively lone and finely finished—a capital Picture of

 the Front of the Picture has given the Painter an 
 opportunity of introducing various Water Fowls ; in 
 distance is a Romantic Landscape—Painted with great 
 spirit and with a rich glow of Colour 
 
 57 The very celebrated Picture, representing the 
 
 E MB AR CATION OF KING WILLIAM AT 
 ROTTERDAM: a Ship of War manoeuvring in 
 the Centre of the Picture, forms an important object ; 
 to the Right are seen the King and his Suite in a Barge 
 of State going on Board the Yacht. This highly 
 
 interesting event has been recorded by the Pencil of 
 
 ' , 
 
 Backhuysen with deserved spirit; the Water especially 
 is in his happiest manner, and proves the Painter to 
 have been a just and successful Observer of Nature— 
 CAPITAL. 
 
 58 COUNTRY FETE in the Court Yard of a Flemish 
 
 Farm House, with a variety of Figures ; in the Cen- 
 
(er is a spirited Group of Dancing Feasants; in the 
 Front a Boor inviting an unwilling or tired partner to 
 join again in the Dance; a Seigneur aud his Lady 
 with their Page are looking on; a bag-piper under a 
 spreading tree is animating the merry party, a few 
 - excepted, who appear engaged in separate courtships ; 
 a pleasing distant Landscape, finely pencilled and 
 colored with great richness—for spirit of execution and 
 clearness of tone, this Picture is unrivalled.
