291. Peasants Halting at a Country Inn. A group
occupying the centre of the picture, consists of a young
woman, dressed in a yellow bodice and blue skirt, mounted
on an ass, and having a glass of liquor in her hand, which
a fat host, standing by, has just presented her, and with whom
a man behind her appears to be conversing; near these are
a cow and a dog, and a second cow is lying down on the left.
A woman stands at the door of the inn, close to which is a
company of rustics regaling under a pent. At some distance
off is seen a muleteer with three laden beasts, advancing
from an archway. This is an admirable example of the
master.
1 ft. 3 in. by 1J7. 8 in.—P.
Exhibited in the British Gallery in 1832.
Collection of Charles Hanbury Tracy, Esq.
292. Cattle Passing a Ford. The view represents, on the
left, a mass of rocks, the summits of which are clothed
with trees. A shallow stream extends along; the fore-ground,
through which are passing, two oxen, an ass laden with
linen and cloth, a goat, and two sheep ; these are followed
by a herdsman, and a woman with a child at her back ; and
preceded at some distance by a man, driving a ssock of
sheep and goats along a winding road, in advance of
which is a man on an ass. The effect of the close of a
fine day pervades the scene.

Now in the collection at Hamilton Palace.
293. A Halt of Huntsmen near a party of Gipsies. A
landscape, pourtrayed under the aspect of a fine summer’s
evening. The view offers, on the right, the ruins of an
amphitheatre, beyond which ssows a river, the banks of
which are adorned with buildings and clusters of trees.
