a bay horse, appears to be giving orders to the two former
relative to a herd of four cows, an ass, and a sheep. Beyond

wearing a sheep-skin jacket, stands on a bank in front,

231. A View of a High Road, passing over the summit of
a mountain, with masses of rock on the left, from amongst
which grow two slender trees. The scene is animated by a

morning prevails. An unfinished picture.
