84. A Dutch Farm. The view represents, on the left, a
cluster of trees, partly concealing a cottage and a haystack :

the fore-ground is a group of three hogs and two asses; and
to the right of these are two kids playing together, and a third
is suckling its dam. The distance offers a country checquered
