Xo. 10 AELBERT CUYP Dutch: 1620—1691 THREE BOORS DRINKING (Panel) Height, 13 inches; width, 12% inches A homely and expressive scene, charmingly executed, asmodern in manner as though the centuries had not elapsed sinceits felicitous production. In a softened but brilliant interiorlight, against a neutral wall background of pale olive and yel-lowish notes, three Dutch farmers have assembled to drink aslong as it pleases them. They have lost interest in eating, anda knife is flung carelessly to the floor. One man, seated on alow wooden stool, is seen in profile to the left, hunched overand resting left elbow on knee, cup in hand, loose jaw sagging,quite content. Another beyond him seated on a similar stool,and seen in profile to the right, appears a little anxious andunsteady, and the third man, standing, with serious dignityputs an arm to his shoulder. Signed on the nearer bench, Cuyp. From the Hogenbergh Collection, Xo. 11JAX VAX GOYEX Dutch: 1596—1656 MOUTH OF THE MEUSE (Panel) Height, 13 inches; length, 22*4 inches A picture almost in monotone, engaging in composition, andof remarkable quality within its monochromatic range. Thebroad river occupies the full span of the picture in the fore-ground, sweeping out to sea toward the right in the distance,about a long middleground shore consisting of a low point pro-jecting from the left, where a windmill, a church and otherbuildings of the community rise above a mass of flourishingtrees. Relieved against the umbrageous shoreline and itsarchitectural accents are Dutch fishing vessels, with sails up,and in the immediate foreground a transverse under-surfacereef with scant vegetation springing above the water-level ex-tends out from the shore, and here fishermen in small-boats areraising their traps and nets. Signed on lobster-j>ot to right of center, J V G (1653?). From the collection of Miss Rogers,
