137- A Village Fete. On the right, and near some trees, is
a large assemblage of peasants, forming in some measure two
lines, but uniting in the distance ; it consists of about ninety-four
figures, divided into various groups. On the other side are
four fires, with brass caldrons on them, to which two men, with
large sticks, and a woman, are attending ; farther are six casks,
and a man near a thatched hovel; and a little higher, several
persons eating and drinking. The artist and his family form a
distinct group ; and at a little distance from them, on the left,
is a pedlar, with toys. A city is seen in the extreme distance.
