19. A View on the Maes during a fine day in Winter. On
the left are the ruins of a lofty castle, close to which are several
sledges, three horses, and a great number of people, many of
whom are under a tent. A group of three men chatting toge-
ther, is near a gray horse, and more towards the spectator is a
fourth person, dressed in red, with a stick on his shoulder,
skating. Beyond these the eye looks over a great extent of
ice, on which are groups of skaters : a few buildings, and a
line of ssat coast, form a boundary to the view. The sky is
delightfully varied with mottled clouds, and the inssuence of a
bright winter’s sun gilds the whole scene. This is a superlative
production.
