40. A Sea Port. The view is distinguished by an obelisk
rising from the centre of a large basin for water. On the
opposite side, and in front, are a lady and gentleman, dressed in
the rich costume of the period, mounted on horses; they appear
to be in conversation with a Turk, who stands near them, and
whose attention is directed to a man tying up a bundle. A
yoke of oxen, drawing a cart, occupies the centre of the fore-
ground. The distance offers a river, bounded on the left by
a high cliff surmounted by buildings. Engraved by Le Bas,
entitled Le Midi ; and also by Daudet.
