39 RUISDAEL, JACOB VAN 1628 or 9-1682 A WATERFALL — "The composition of this superb pictures exhibits on the left a lofty rocky hill, partially covered with verdure and crowded with a cluster of trees of varied foliage, above the tops of which appears the spire of a neighboring village church; through a ravine in the same hill rushes a volume of water, which falls in a foaming cataract into a channel beneath, along which it rolls in rapid eddies towards the left and gurgles amidst stones over a great portion of the foreground. A high bank of broken form, on which lie the trunks of three trees, makes the boundary of the stream on the right, from hence the eye is conducted to a rustic bridge, over which a shepherd is driving a flock of sheep. The aspect is that of a fine day."
