a cap and feathers, has dismounted from a fine mottled-gray
horse, having on a blue velvet saddle, and is seated at the foot
of a tree drawing up his buff boots : a greyhound and a beagle
are close by his side. The other gentleman, wearing a cap and
feathers, and a brown coat decked with gold lace, is mounted
on a black horse, and holds the reins of his companion’s steed.
On the opposite side are a herdsman and three cows. The
fore-ground is finely diversified with bushes, docks, and other
wild plants. The pleasing effect of a fine summer’s morning

which is seen on the left, distinguished by its turreted entrance
