832. A VILLAGE WITH WATERMILLS.

_Hobbema_ (Dutch: 1638-1709). _See 685._

This is one of Hobbema's most usual subjects--a cottage, a mill, a few

trees. The effect is that of a summer sky, with light fleecy clouds,

and gleams of sunshine seem to pass over the scene. Sir Robert Peel

paid £525 for the picture. It should be compared with Ruysdael's of a

similar scene (986).
