To the left are dense clouds which, like the mill-sails, are illumined by the setting sun. A good picture of its kind. Signed in full ; canvas, 17 inches by '2o| inches.

The village stands on the farther bank of a frozen canal which leads from the left distance to the right foreground. Almost in the centre a man and a boy go away down the canal : the man pulls a log by a rope behind him. Other figures stand on the ice in the middle distance, conversing. In the distance, on the left bank, two others are walking. Dark cloudy sky. The two figures in the centre are somewhat too good for Ruisdael, and are by another hand, apparently A. van de Velde. The two figures in the distance may be by Ruisdael himself. Signed in full on the right at foot ; canvas, 14 inches by 12 inches. In the Zweibriicken Gallery.
