70. A young Bull and two Cows in a Meadow. The
nearest of these to the spectator is a black and white cow,
lying down ruminating; beyond it, and close to the trunk of
an old tree, stands a fine young bull, whose attitude denotes
him to be bellowing; the second cow, seen in a hinder view on
the opposite side, and the most distant of the three, is of a
yellowish colour. A waggon, with a peasant in it, drawn by
two horses, is passing at the end of the field, and the distance
terminates with low trees and sand hills. This very admirable
picture is painted with a broad free pencil; the animals are
sinely drawn, and its general effect is uncommonly good.
Signed, and dated 1649.
