and is seen in a profile view ; the others are on the opposite
side; one of which, of a yellowish red colour, is lying down
near an old tree, the other standing. The aspect is that of
rain, accompanied by heat, and the atmosphere appears to be
dense and heavy. A good example of the master. Engraved,
No. Ill, in the Stafford Gallery.

25. A Halt of Sportsmen. Two sportsmen halting on
a road near a cottage, partly shaded by clusters of trees ;
one of them, riding a gray horse, appears, by the richness
of his dress, to be a person of distinction, and remains on
his steed while a servant arranges the stirrup. His com-
panion, mounted on a bright dun-colour horse, holds a gun
in his hand, and has some game attached to the saddle: they
are followed by a couple of dogs. At the side of the door sits
an old man wiping his brows, by which, and the glowing
warmth of the colouring, the artist has ingeniously indicated
the heat of the weather. A highly-finished work. Dated
1651.
