436. A Spy taken Prisoner. A Landscape, with a corps of
cavalry, about ten in number, on the left fore-ground, headed
by an officer on a bay horse ; his attention is directed to a spy,
who stands before him, with a basket of eggs on his arm;
behind him is a soldier ; and at his side another, on horseback,
with his back to the spectator; in the rear of the chief officer
is a dismounted horse-soldier in buff, holding the reins of his
fine gray charger; nearer the left, and in front, are three
soldiers on the ground, playing at cards; the troop of cavalry is
sinely relieved in effect by some trees and bushes ; and on the
opposite side the view opens to the distant country. This is
a picture of first-rate excellence.
