RUISDAEL (Jacob van)
(1623-1682)
34. — A Rocky River Scene
A mountainous country with a river in the centre, tailing in a cascade between rocks in the foreground. On a hill to the right is a cottage with a quantity of timber scattered near it. and some sheep browsing. Farther back stands another rustic building sheltered by clusters of trees, and beyond it is seen a road on which are four figures. In the middle distance on the left, a farm-house partly hidden by trees stands near the base of a richly wooded hill, above which rises the spire of a church.
