169- The Country Farrier. The view represents a pictu-
resque scene, composed of an old brick arch abutting against
some lofty rocks, adjacent to a high road; here a country
farrier has established his shop, and is seen, bending on one
knee, examining the hind foot of an ass, which a boy holds up.
The beast is mounted by a woman in a blue dress, who holds
an inverted glass in her hand, and appears at the same time to
be conversing with a peasant. A young woman, and an ass
laden with panniers, containing two calves, a child playing
with a dog, a goat, and another dog, complete the composition
of this excellent picture. Engraved by Leveau, entitled Le
Marechai de Campagne.

170. A Landscape. On the right is a lofty hill, with
jutting rocks, from the summit of which descends a waterfall;
and at the foot of it is a road, leading into the distant country,
along which peasants are passing with cattle. The view is
also distinguished by a pile of ruins occupying the summit
of a hill, in the middle distance. Two trees, some fragments
of rock, blended with brambles and wild herbage, give
picturesque beauty to the fore-ground.
