At the road- side to the right sits a woman ; a man lying on the ground rests his head on her lap. In the right distance are two water-mills and another build- ing.

[Cancelled.] 108. THE WATER-MILL. Sm. Suppl. n. The same scene as in 94 (Widener). The principal differences are as follows : The great oak is varied and bent to the left. Behind it to the right is a larger oak, instead of two small trees. The mill is a wooden building, and the frame- work of the wheel has four separate supports. A man holding a boy by his left hand comes forward along the road ; two men are at the wooden fence in the middle distance ; farther back a man walks away. The same mill was painted in 1661 by Ruisdael (145). [Compare 88.] Signed in the right-hand corner, and dated 1662 ; panel, 24 inches by 33^ inches. Engraved by Salmon.
