with their horns ; one of them is of a whitish colour ; the other
is of a tawny yellow, patched with white. A cow lies down near
the bole of a tree on the left; beyond which are some light
trees and a thatched cottage; and the spire of Haarlem church

61. Horses in a Meadow. The scene represents a view
over the ssat pasture lands of a Dutch farm, terminating with
clumps of trees, among which appears the residence of the
owner. In the fore-ground is a peasant, cautiously advancing
with his hat in his hand to catch a bay horse, which, by its
animated expression, seems disposed to give him some trouble.
A second horse, of a dappled gray colour, stands near a pollard
willow on the right, apparently startled by the barking of a
little spaniel. The name of the painter, and the date, 1653,
are written on the trunk of an old tree, lying on the fore-
ground.
