In the left middle distance the castle stands on the edge of a pool with two swans. At the front corner is a high round tower with a steep conical roof. On the side wall is a stepped gable ; at the back is another round tower with a flatter roof. The dark building is sharply relieved against the light blue sky, which is covered to right and left with heavy grey clouds. Around the pool a broad road makes a great curve j on both sides of it are lofty old oaks and other trees. Near the castle the trees have been felled and lie in a marshy place amid bushes and great stones. On the right a shepherd drives forward his flock. In the right distance, through the trees, is seen part of a cottage behind a fence. Through the trees, too, are seen meadows and bushes. In the distance are several travellers. The distance is light but the foreground is brown and heavy. The picture has been much repainted, so that it scarcely suggests the work of Ruisdael. The sheep are probably by A. van de Velde. Signed in full on the left at foot ; canvas, 28 inches by 34^ inches. Sale. Thomas Emmerson, London, 1829 (210). In the collection of J. H.
