On the left is a 'smalschip' (a small sprit-rigged transport vessel), with sails set; a 'kaag' (a clinker-built vessel with a straight raking stem) is beached on the right. The painting is a fairly early work, probably dating from the 1650s. ...
This is probably a fragment of a larger picture. The bird appears to be a female sparrowhawk. The artist, who is referred to as a Venetian, worked at courts in Germany & the Netherlands. This is perhaps a late work, from the period when the artist was a ...
The Bridge & Castle of Sant' Angelo in Rome are in the background. The jousting contest has not been identified with any particular occasion. Portraits of Vernet & his wife are said to be included in the picture, presumably the elegantly dressed couple on the right in the foreground. In 1745 Vernet had married Carlotta Cecilia Virginia Joachina (born 1728), daughter of Mark Parker, an Irish Catholic living in Rome. Commissioned by the Marquis de Villette in 1749, & one of several pictures by Vernet which he owned. The painting was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1750. ...
The view is probably a fantasy composed of elements of different buildings seen by the artist in Germany & Holl&. The architecture of the church is typical of the 16th-century style of churches around Cologne & Braunschweig, & also in Franconia, while the building on the left seems more Dutch in character. ...

The fashionable attire of the hunters underscores the fact that hunting on horseback was a privilege reserved to the aristocracy in 17th-century Holl&. The beautifully drawn horses, the white horse in particular, are a trademark of Wouwermans. On the hill on the right a hermit outside his hut can also be made out. This was perhaps intended as a moralising counterpoint to the leisurely pursuits of the elegant hunters. The fluid style of this picture is characteristic of the artist's later years. ...
This is a display of all the riches that could be found on a table. Lobsters & fowls are surrounded by fruits & a background of artichokes. Such paintings were common decoration in dining rooms & represent a fast decorative style of painting without too much effort in creating a focused composition. ...
The parrot is a Grey Parrot; the dead game consists of a hare & a brace of partridges, beside which is a jay. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Fyt of the late 1640s, but the handling of paint is rather coarse & so an element of doubt about ...
This is a study for a composition elaborated in a larger picture by Hobbema (Rotterdam, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen), which follows this design fairly closely but also Includes:: a road with figures & a horizon on the left. The landscape is similar in t ...
