Mr Muilman, and Vander Dussens, of Amsterdam, Mons. Mariette, of Paris, and many others : among which are many exceeding fine and capital, by Raphael, A. Del Sarto, Titian, M. Angelo, Parmegiano, Corregio, P. Veronese, Bassano, Claude Loraine, Poussin, Rubens, Vandyke, Rembrandt, Berghem, Adrian, Will. V. De Vedel, Potter, Du Jardin, Ruysdale, &c. : which will be sold by auction, by Mr. Greenwood, at his room, in Leicester-Square, on Friday, Feb. 16, 1787, and the seven following evenings : it is presumed, that a more capital collection of the valuable works of the Italian, Dutch, Flemish, French, and English schools, were never offered to the public, or more worthy the attention of the learned connoisseurs.
