169 A Hawking Party.—Two gentlemen and a lady halt 5
at an inn, before which there is a travelling carriage, a
woman pouring out liquor for a cavalier, and other persons.
This picture, painted in a silvery tone, has a harmony of
keeping, a delicacy of execution, which are seldom met
with even in Wouvermanns.
Engraved by Le Bas. P. 1 ft. 10 in. by 2 ft. (Smith’s Cat. 255.)
170 A Hay Harvest.—A boat, and a waggon with four 6
horses, are laden with hay. In the middle distance are
the mowers; in front, two huntsmen on foot with dogs, a
beggar, and a youth bathing. Like the former, in the
artist’s third manner, but still more tender in the harmony
of the colouring, still more delicate in the touch. From
the collection of Smeth van Alpen, and sold at Rotterdam,
in 1810, for 379Z.; brought to England by M. La Fontaine,
and sold to the king in 1811.

flogging it. A rich composition, carefully executed; but
in many parts too dark.*
172 The Farrier’s Tent—in which a horse is shod. Before 8
it several women. Most exquisitely finished.

the horses, nor his peculiar touch.
