NICHOLAS BERGHEM.

320. Companion. Women Milking. A hilly scene, adorned
on the left with clusters of trees growing among rocks; the view
on the opposite side shows an open country. In the centre of
the fore-ground is a young woman on her knees, milking a goat,
her attention being at the same time directed to a female com-
panion who stands near her, pointing with one hand to a milk
pail: behind the latter is a red cow, and on the margin of a
pond on the left are two more cows; five goats and a sheep are
scattered over the fore-ground. Evening. These are admirable
productions of the master.
Now in the collection of M. de Haan, Amsterdam.

321. Peasants with Cattle, &c. The view represents a
mountainous country, with abundance of trees on the hills,
and cottages in the distance. On the fore-ground is a
herdsman, accompanied by a woman with a basket on her
arm, and followed by a dog, driving before him several
cows, sheep, and goats. A little to the left of these is a
second female.
