B-106. Portraits of the Burgomaster d'Eyselyhn of Rotterdam, and his family. (41X59.) Jacob G. Cuyp.
The landscape is probably not by Cuyp.

B-107. Landscape, with Figures. (24X20½.) Guillam Dubois.
The similarity of many parts of this picture to the works of Ruysdael is so great, that some dealer, more keen than honest, had placed his signature over that of the actual painter. Upon cleaning the picture, the fictitious signature, of course, disappeared, and that of Dubois, with the date, 1652, was brought to light; and hence results the unmerited obscurity of a landscape painter of no mean powers who preceded Ruysdael, and whose works are important in the history of art, as showing the origin of that Master's style of treating foliage.
