106. A View, apparently in the neighbourhood of Arnheim.
The middle-ground is traversed by a noble river, beyond
which is a chain of irregular mountains, and at the base of one
of the largest is a building with a round tower. Among the
cattle and figures which give interest to the fore-ground, are a
peasant on an ass laden with panniers, another in a red jacket,
on foot by his side ; and a little retired from these are a woman
on an ass, and four cows; these are receding from the spectator
towards two high trees. A variety of shrubs, bushes, and wild
plants, contribute to the picturesque effect of the fore-ground.
The general aspect is that of a fine autumnal evening.
