630. The Watering Place. The view exhibits a landscape,
characterized by its bold forms and wild appearance ; a broken
and diversified fore-ground is intersected by a stream of water
extending along the front, and traversed at a little distance by a
rustic bridge; beyond which rises a mass of rocks, whose
summits are clothed with lofty umbrageous trees and rich
underwood. This sequestered scene is enlivened by cattle and
figures ; among which, and close to the front, is a man in a
scarlet jacket watering two horses ; another man is in the stream
driving out a cow ; a woman with a can on her head and three
other cowrs are on the bank, and a fourth cow is crossing the
bridge ; to the left are three more of the herd, and near these
is a youth seated on a bank playing a pipe ; in the opposite side
are flocks of sheep browzing on the hills, from whence the view
opens to the distant country. A clear and brilliant daylight
effect, and the verdant freshness of summer, pervade this
admirable picture.
