Another landskip, by the same master,
a little larger but upright, and also in his
richest and best manner.
A lanskip with rocks, and a man ly-
ing reading, by Salvator Rosa, about two
feet two inches wide. This is one of
those pictures that were engraved and
published by direction of Mr. Pond some
years ago: it belonged then to Mr. Kent.
A landskip, its companion, by Barto-
lomeo, a disciple of the above master.
The figures and water in this picture are
remarkably fine.
A landskip, a warm evening, about the
same size, by Jean Asselin, commonly
called Crabacci, with cattle in the water
by Berchem in his finest manner. Mr.
Major, an engraver of great merit, has
made a very capital print from this pic-
ture.
A landskip with cattle and figures, by
Cuyp, its companion. The sun-shine, for
which this master is so famous, is parti-
cularly fine in this picture.
Venus and Adonis with Cupids, by
Van Baelen, in a landskip about the same
size as the above, by Velvet Brughell,
who has introduced dogs &c. painted
with the utmost life and spirit. This is

as fine a coloured picture as can possibly
be met with.
A landskip about the same size, with a
flock of sheep, &c. by Francesco Mille.
The composition is fine, and this is one
of his richest pictures.
A piece of ruins, by Viviano, about
the same size.
A piece of ruins, by Ghisolfi, with
a man sitting by the side of the Tiber.
A sea calm with English yachts, by
William Vandevelde. The keeping, the
figures, and the water, are uncommonly
fine in this picture.
A canal with boats on it, and a bridge
at the end, with buildings on each side,
by Canaletti. This picture, for the fine-
ness of the water, and the justness of
the perspective, is allowed to be one of
the very finest of this master.
A landskip with figures, fishing &c.
by Zuccharelli, about 2 feet 9 inches
wide. This picture from the fineness
of the figures, and the uncommon rich-
ness of the colouring, has been always
deemed at least equal to any thing
this great master ever painted.
A holy family, with a little St. John
sitting on a lamb, by Scarcellini de
