163. Grooms Watering Horses. Upon the sloping fore-
ground of a landscape are men watering and exercising six
horses; of these, the nearest to the spectator is a white one
quitting the water, in which a boy is bathing. A man leading
a roan horse, and another man on a dark gray, are on the
bank of the pool; the fourth is a brown, rode by a man with
a boy up behind him. A number of figures are on the summit
of the hill near a cluster of trees. The country exhibits a
cold and rainy aspect. Painted in the artist’s early manner.

164. A Herdsman Watering Cattle in a River. The view
represents, on the right, an extensive river, bounded on the
opposite side by sand banks. A herd of five cows are distributed
along the front, in a shallow part of the stream. The cow-boy
is on the side of a high bank on the left, plucking up some
flags which grow abundantly on the margin of the water. On
the opposite side is a boat, in which are two men fishing, and
seven small sailing boats are distributed at various distances
up the river. This charming picture represents the pleasing
effect of a fine sunny evening, after a showery day.
