"By Kuyp, born 1606, died 1667. " To give a complete description of this beautiful picture, the history of the artist ought here to be inserted; an extract must suffice: 'he excelled in every thing he attempted to represent, and painted every object in the same free and natural manner: always lovely and true in his colouring, as well as clear and transparent. His studies were entirely after nature, and most of his landscapes were sketched from scenery in or about the city of Dort.'" [P. 9.]
