13. Le grand Marche aux Chevaux. A Landscape, exhibit-
ing a view over an open country, with a river in the middle dis-
tance. The whole of the fore-ground is covered with figures and
horses, the most conspicuous amongst which is a man on a prancing
white horse, followed by another with a long whip in his hand,
evidently showing off his steed to a gentleman on a dark horse;
near the latter are a mare, lying down, and a foal at her side.
This very capital picture is of the highest quality and beauty ;
it is painted in the artist’s third, or clear manner. Engraved by
Moyreau, No. 18, under the above title.
