83. The Ponte Mole. A landscape, traversed by a river,
which is crossed by a bridge of three arches, the entrance to
which is through an ancient gateway ; its passage is also com-
manded by a round tower; and a villa, of modern construction,
stands near the foot of the bridge. A rough road, running
parallel with the river, forms the fore-ground, on which are
four men, a woman, and several cows ; among the former is
one, wearing a sheep-skin jacket, on a bay horse, with his back
to the spectator ; a second walks by his side; and a third is
driving two cows: two dogs are in front, one of which is
barking at the cows. A man, with a cow and two laden
mules, is descending the bridge. A bright sunny morning
pervades the scene.
