32. Rendezvous de Chasse. A hunting party assembled
on a paved terrace adjacent to some noble mansion, and in the
precincts of a woody park. A stone pedestal, surmounted by a
statue of Hercules, is on the right, from whence a lady and
gentleman, elegantly habited, are advancing towards a beautiful
white palfrey, caparisoned with a blue velvet saddle and housings,
and held by a page in a scarlet dress. A little retired from
these is a huntsman on a chesnut horse, blowing his horn, and
, still farther are a pack of hounds and several huntsmen. Be-
yond the lady and gentleman are seen the equipages of the
family, drawn by gray horses; and close to the front are two
venerable pilgrims asking charity. Signed, and dated 1662.
The elegance of the figures, the beautiful symmetry of the
horses, and the number and variety of the dogs, render this a
most interesting example of the master.
