225. A Woman Milking. The composition exhibits on the
left a hilly meadow, sheltered by a clump of trees, on which
are two cows and a horse; one of the former is lying down
close to the front, the other a woman is milking: two milk
cans stand by her. A marshy pool covers the opposite side,
and extends over a large portion of the meadow, in which are
seen two horses and four cows. Two ducks are in the water,
and a goose sits on the bank. The aspect of a fine sunny
afternoon prevails throughout the scene. Engraved in the
