62. The Charitable Farmer. The subject is introduced in

the fore-ground of a bald and barren country, and consists of
a farmer, wearing a sheepskin jacket, mounted on a gray
horse, with his back to the spectator, bestowing alms on a poor
boy, who holds his hat to receive it; behind the latter stands
a young woman, near whom are a herdsman and a mendicant,
sitting on the ground, close to the trunk of a fallen tree. Upon
some rising ground on the right are two sheep, and four cows,
one of which a woman is milking. The general appearance
of a fine warm afternoon give value to the scene. Engraved
