 vin PHILIPS WOUWERMAN 605 rides towards the left foreground. Near him a woman milks a brown cow. A well-dressed couple go down the road. In the left distance a coach goes away. The most prominent figure is that of a woman in white, black, and red, seated by the road in the centre. Near her is a girl in blue with a yellow apron. They watch the milking. To the right is another woman carrying a yoke. A man with a dog is near a big fallen tree. The whole is in a brown tone against a clear sky. Signed half-way to the right with the early monogram. In the collection of Sir Audley Neeld, Grittleton House. 1062. A LANDSCAPE. This is quite in the style of the Haarlem painters. It is catalogued as a J. R. de Vries, but is certainly by Philips Wouwerman. Panel, 14! inches by 13 inches. Bequeathed to Hamburg by H. Jilchter, Paris. In the Hamburg Kunsthalle, 1883 catalogue, No. 628. 1063. A DUNE LANDSCAPE WITH A HORSEMAN. A man in a blue coat, red cloak, and plumed hat rides forward on a grey horse through an opening in a hedge. On the left, behind the hedge, is a clump of leafless trees in the sunlit hilly landscape. A man with a pack on his shoulders. A cloudy sky. This is a very fine picture. Signed on the left at foot with the full monogram ; panel, 14 inches by 12 inches. In the collection of Nicolaus Hudtwalker, Hamburg. In the collection of Johann Wesselhoeft, Hamburg. In the Hamburg Kunsthalle, Wesselhoeft catalogue, 1889, p. n. 1064. A LANDSCAPE. Sm. 344; M. 47. In the right fore- ground, behind two dead willows, a little wooden bridge leads across a ditch running from the right background to the left foreground. On it is a man. By the roadside in the left middle distance is a cottage with a fence round it, and a copse to the left. In front is a flock of sheep. In the centre of the middle distance a man on a grey horse comes riding round the bend of the road. Beyond him the ground rises to the right to the hills. This is a good picture of the transition from the first to the second period ; it was once wrongly described as only in the manner of Ph. Wouwerman. Signed on the right at foot with the full monogram ; panel, 13 inches by 13 inches. Engraved by Moyreau in 1743, No. 47,"as "Le Petit Pont de Bois." In the collection of the Comte de Mirabeau, Paris, 1743. In Baron Bruckenthal's Museum, Hermannstadt, 1901 catalogue, No. 1224. 1065. A HILLY LANDSCAPE WITH PACK-HORSES. On a hill to the right is a ruined wall. Near it are a tree-trunk and a leafless tree. In the foreground a peasant adjusts the pack on his grey horse. In front lie three sheep. A country woman carrying a basket and a peasant with a pack-horse go away. This is catalogued as "possibly a Wouwerman " ; but it is certainly an original in good condition.
