448. A Hunting Party reposing. The Landscape offers a
retired scene, with a stream on the right, and a group of two
women and three men on its banks; at a little distance from
these are two horses, one of which a boy holds by the bridle ;
also two men and several dogs.: a handsome mansion-house
stands on the left side and middle distance. Excellent quality.
Engraved by Niquet, in the Musee Frangais.
Taken from the Louvre in 1815, and restored to the Hague
Gallery.

449. A Stag Hunt. Four gentlemen and a lady, well mounted,
and accompanied by attendants and dogs, are in pursuit of a
stag, which the dogs have caught in the fore-ground of a pic-
turesque landscape; on the right is a bridge over a rapid stream,
in which a man is angling : some ruins are seen in the distance.
This is of equal excellence with the preceding.
Now in the Musee at Amsterdam.

450. Exercising Horses. The composition presents a
Landscape, with a large tree, near which is a groom on a kick-
ing horse, and another holding a roan horse, which appears to
have kicked over an apple-woman, who lies on the ground in
front; on the right is a man on a galloping horse, and a lady
and gentleman looking at the scene. This is painted in the
artist’s middle time.
