spotted horse: a blind man, led by a dog, is close to the left
side. In the middle distance are seen a coach, drawn by four
gray horses, and several huntsmen watering their steeds at a
fountain, adorned with an equestrian figure on the top of a
column. This capital picture is painted in the artist’s gray or
silvery manner.
This is probably the picture noticed in the collection of M. Proley,
1787, which sold for. 14,500 fs. 480Z.
Exhibited at the British Gallery, 1828.
Now in the collection of the Duke of Wellington, and worth 800gs.
36 in. by 48 in.—C. (about.)
307. A River, on the banks of which are three gentlemen,
two of whom are on horseback, the third has dismounted, and
is stooping by the side of his steed, tieing his boot; on the right
of the former is a man driving a horse up a bank, to pull a net
on shore, a little way from which are two men in a boat, and
beyond the driver are a man and a woman : at some distance
off, on the right, are two men on horseback approaching, of
whom a beggar is asking alms. Done in lithography, by
Akeman Allesson, 1820, from a picture then in the collection
of the Count Rechberg, at Vienna.
Sold in the collection of the King of Bavaria, at Munich, 1826.
18 in. by 15 in.—P.
308. A hilly Landscape, with a pool in the fore-ground, and
a well on the right; near which stands a woman with a pail,
apparently conversing with two cavaliers, the nearest of whom
has dismounted from a gray horse, which he holds by the
bridle; the other is riding on a bay one, and has a trumpet
slung behind him : a fine white spaniel is drinking at the stream
in front; and in the middle distance is a traveller reposing.
A clear and finely-painted picture.
Now in the Dulwich Gallery, and worth. 350 gs.
20 in. by 24 in.—P.
