some lofty beach trees and a canal at its side, are a cavalier on
a prancing sorrel horse, and a lady, richly habited, on a white
one; they are followed by a huntsman and a falconer, with a
couple of dogs. In the back-ground is a cavalier, taking leave
of another gentleman; and near them are several huntsmen
and dogs. This beautiful picture is engraved in the Le Brun

89- The Market Cart. A landscape, representing a broken
and undulating site, divided in the middle distance by a line
of bushes and trees, and having the aspect of autumn. On the
fore-ground is a cart drawn by a white horse, the driver of
which is seated on the shaft, and a woman and a child are in
it. Beyond this object may be observed a shepherd driving
a flock of sheep, and still farther are several cows and sheep,
variously distributed over the meadows. A pleasing example
of the master. Signed, and dated 1661.

90. The Farm. The view offers on the right, a pile of
buildings surrounded by paling, at the side of which is a large
tree bare of foliage, with a bird’s nest in its top. Several
cows, together with poultry, and two hogs, are distributed
along the fore-ground; among the former are two lying down,
and a third, marked with black patches, appears to be bel-
lowing. A herdsman carrying a pail, stands near the house,
in conversation with a milkmaid. The effect of a fine
afternoon pervades the rural scene. This picture is finished
