Sm. 125. On the left an undershot water-mill stands amid trees on the bank of a stream which flows to the front. On the right is a winding road, which leads through trees to the foreground. On the river bank in front a man and a woman stand near a cow and some goats. A man rests at the roadside in the middle distance. Under the trees are other figures and cottages. A dog swims across the river. Blue sky with clouds. The figures are plausibly ascribed to A. van de Velde ; they are at any rate painted in his manner. The picture is rather dark and restless. Canvas, 40 inches by 50 inches. An almost exact replica, slightly broader measuring 39 inches by 52 inches and without the man resting at the roadside, was in the sale : C. T.
