 134 AELBERT CUYP SECT. 437. TRAVELLERS IN A LANDSCAPE. Sm. 91. A repetition, with slight variations and in a somewhat broader style, of Lord Scarsdale's picture (425). The horseman in a red coat on the right is here feeing the spectator, not in profile ; and water flows from the hill on the left. Sm. thought this "a picture of great excellence both in colour and execution." Though the other (425) is better, this picture, unquestionably dating from the seventeenth century, is so good that it may be confidently attributed to Cuyp. Signed, in the lower right-hand corner, "A. Cuyp fecit" ; canvas, 52 inches by 77 inches. Mentioned by Waagen (ii. 237). Exhibited at the British Gallery, 1828, No. 145 ; and at the Royal Academy Winter Exhibition, 1871, No. 420; 1894, No. 68, and 1903, No. 85. In the collection of the Earl of Dudley, 1828. Sale.
