Forst and others, Cologne, December 13, 1899, No. 27. i6id. Two Children. They are dressed in rich coloured garments, and are resting at the edge of a wood. They have two lambs and a dog with them. Canvas, 27 inches by 39 inches. Sak.F. Jaeger and others, Berlin, October 21, 1902, No. 139. 162. FOUR CHILDREN IN A LANDSCAPE. On the right sits a girl in a white satin dress, with green and yellow lined sleeves, a pearl necklace, and a pearl chain in her fair hair. She holds her flower- trimmed straw hat on her lap, and leans forward to pick up a flask. To the left three boys stand in a group. The eldest in the centre wears a purple-grey dress and sandals ; he takes two rabbits from the boy on the left, who wears a red velvet tunic with sleeves slashed with white. The third boy, also in red, laughingly lays his hand on the back of a white he-goat, which faces the spectator. To the left is the head of a greyhound. Behind the group is a clump of trees against a blue sky with clouds. On the girl's staff is a monogram that probably refers to the sitters but has been wrongly identified as that of J. G. Cuyp. The picture is certainly by A. Cuyp, and does not represent the children of the Prince of Orange as the owner supposes. Signed on the right with the genuine signature, A. Cuyp ; canvas, 55 inches by 63 inches. In the collection of the Prince de Soubise before 1800. Sale. (Possibly) A. J. Petit, Malines, July 5, 1826, No. 134. In the collection of the Comtesse Jouvencel, Passy ; offered for sale in London, May 1907, by the Warden of the Robert Browning Settlement, Walworth. 162*. A Portrait. By A. or J. G. Cuyp. Sale. The Hague, July 19, 1822, No. 4 (4 florins). 162^. View of the Old Town of Antwerp. There are boats on the water, and figures. By Cuyp or in his manner. Sale. H. van der Heuvel and J. Hackefort, Rotterdam, April 1 8, 1816, No. 103 (28 florins, Kieboon or I. D. Luboon). 163. VIEW OF THE RIETDIJK GATE OF DORDRECHT FROM THE RIVER. In the centre are several ships and a windmill. To the right the masts of a ship are seen above the houses. The water recalls the work of Van Goyen, but the little figures are quite in the style of A. Cuyp. With the help of this picture, the Rotterdam picture (177), formerly attributed to L. Verschuier, can be assigned to Cuyp. Signed in the right-hand bottom corner, A. Cuyp ; panel, 1 7 inches by 25 inches. In the Dordrecht Museum, 1906 catalogue, No. 12 ; acquired in 1895.
