herbage, are seen the disobedient prophet, lying dead in a fore-
shortened view, and the false prophet standing by, bewailing
over him. The son of the latter, with two asses, are at the
extremity of the group. The landscape is admirably painted.

308. A View on a River, under the appearance of Winter.
A bridge of a single arch, and a broken hill, on which are
three hovels and a windmill, compose the right. Among the
several figures which are distributed along the fore-ground,
are three sportsmen, one of whom is seated, taking off his
skates, a second, dressed in scarlet, stands with his back to the
spectator, in conversation with his companion; near them are
two men lifting a package on the back of a white horse, which
is feeding at a trough with a bay horse. A man pushing along
a sledge with a woman in it, and two women washing linen,
complete the group. Many other figures animate the distant
country. An excellent production.

309- A Halt of Travellers at an Italian Restorato, by the
road side. Among the company may be noticed a driver, with
a whip in his hand, approaching the door of the inn, at which
is seen the host in the act of pouring out a glass of liquor;
behind the latter are an old man with a staff in his hand, and
a woman, sitting together. On the road is a cart drawn by
two horses, the foremost of which is a white one, and seen in a
side position. The view is bounded by a wall, beyond which
rise the roofs of houses.
