by Unknown

1341. A WOODLAND SCENE.

Cornelius Decker (Dutch: died 1678). See 134.

1342. LANDSCAPE.

J. de Wet (Dutch: 17th Century).

This is the only landscape subject known to bear the signature of J. de Wet; other works so signed are of biblical subjects. A Jan de Wet, a native of Hamburg, was a pupil of Rembrandt,—a tutelage not inconsistent with the style of this picture.

1343. AMSTERDAM MUSKETEERS ON PARADE.

Unknown (Dutch School: about 1650).

Formerly attributed to Govert Flinck (1615-1660), who was a pupil of Rembrandt, and was commissioned to paint many considerable works for the Town Hall of Amsterdam. Observe the group of officers on the left; one bears a standard embroidered with the arms of that city.

1344. A LANDSCAPE.

Salomon Ruysdael (Dutch: 1600-1670).
