22. A View in the Environs of the Rhine, exhibiting a rich
and finely-varied country. Near a beautiful clump of trees
which rises on the left is a gentleman on horseback, apparently
in conversation with a shepherd, near whom are a little girl, a
dog, and eight sheep. About the centre of the view is a man
on an ass, riding towards a man and a woman tending a ssock
of sheep. The fore-ground is admirably varied with water,
bushes, and wild herbage. A noble river sweeps through
the country in the middle distance, and some buildings are
faintly seen through the sultry haze, on the receding hills.
The beauty of a sine summer’s evening gives value to the
scene.
