B-185. Marine View. (9½X12½.) William van de Velde.
Bought in Philadelphia.
(Bryan Collection.)
B-186. Landscape, with Animals. (9X11½.) Adrian van de Velde.
This picture, though small, gives a just idea of the power of the Master, from whose pencil the donor has never seen a feeble work; though Adrian may have adorned with his figures the compositions of inferior masters. This picture, together with the small landscape by Rubens (No. B-162), is from an old chateau in Normandy.

B-187. Landscape, with Figures. (25X33.) Abraham Verboom.
So fine a specimen of the Master is rarely to be found. The group of figures, by Lingelbach, is almost worthy of Wouwermans.
(Bryan Collection.)
B-188. The Three Graces. (19X15½.) Chevalier van der Werf.
From Hunter's collection, New York.
(Bryan Collection.)
B-189. Ruins, with Figures. (22X17½.) Jan Baptist Weenix.
In the opinion of the donor, this picture, though striking at first, is extremely false in everything, like most others of this painter's works. It is from the collection of Cardinal Fesch.
