87. A Village Festival. A picturesque Landscape, with a
river in the middle; a little country inn on the left; and a tree
on the farther side of it, in which is a pigeon-house : two gen-
tlemen and a lady, on horseback, are stopping to refresh them-
selves at the inn ; the landlord of which is presenting the
lady a glass of wine; one of the gentlemen has his hat off;
near him are a woman, with a child, and the servant of the
house; and more in front is a boy, on his knee, coupling two
dogs. On the opposite side stands another small inn, in front
of which, amongst numerous groups of peasantry, are a couple
dancing to the music of a hurdy-gurdy, played by a man on
a tub, under a tree ; and others drinking, and lying about
on the ground : about the middleis a party of five, with a
piper at their head, advancing towards the lady and gentleman
on the left. Engraved by Scott. This is an excellent picture,
painted in the artist’s second manner; full of variety and
interesting detail.
