A Picture in Claude's early manner, most interesting to this amateur, as in it may be traced the style of Agostino Tassi, and see something of Paul Bril; but yet the superior hand of Claude predominates. Future excellence firmly anticipated. The distance, the sky, the water, the trees, could be produced only by him, whose continued labour raised landscape to its highest estimation. [P. 9.]
