This very choice picture has been universally allowed to be the finest of this master ever seen in the United States. The liquidity and transparence of the water, the silveryness of the clouds, and the beauty of the handling are truly admirable. It was imported into London in 1829 by M. Jarry at the price of L 900, and subsequently formed part of the collection of Sir James Stuart of Edinburgh, of whom the present possessor obtained it. SIGNED N.B. FECIT. [Pp. 8-9.]
