This picture closely resembles one in the Marquis of Westminster’s
collection ; the view is the same, and the cattle, although more in
number, are similarly disposed ; and it has evidently been painted
from the same study, at a period of five years later.—See No. 37.
It was formerly in the distinguished collection of the Count de
Fries, who is said to have paid 30,000fs. for it, 1200Z. It after-

99- Cattle in a Meadow. The principal group which
meets the eye consists of seven sheep and a cow, represented
in recumbent positions. Beyond these stands a second cow
in a side view, with its head turned from the spectator,
and a little farther is a sheep. The second distance is
animated by four cows, one of which a woman is milking,
while a man stands by ; and on the farther side of some
bushes, and two slender trees, is a cow boy, a little remote
from whom is a barn. The distance is bounded by a line of
trees, above which are visible the roofs of houses, and a
tower. Engraved by Couche, and described from the print.

in the middle of the fore-ground; the other stands beyond
