238. A Portrait of a young Lady, with an oval-shaped
countenance, slightly marked with the small-pox : her hair is
turned back, and a black velvet cap covers her head. Her
dress consists of black speckled silk, and a plain muslin ker-
chief with a back rosette on the bosom. The right hand only
is seen, holding a fan.
2ft. 8 in. by 2 ft. 2 in.—P. (about.}—(oval.}
Such is the richness of the colouring, the breadth of the effect,
and the extraordinary look of nature in this picture, that it may be
said to vie with the best productions of Rembrandt.
Exhibited in the British Gallery in 1831.
Now in the collection of the Rev. Heneage Finch.
239- A View of a Mountainous Country, with a river on
the left, and a large castle in the distance. Upon a winding
road on the right, which is skirted on one side with trees and
bushes, is a gentleman on a gray horse approaching the river,
which ssows in a shallow stream along the front-ground. Two
cows are on its margin, and one of them is drinking : the
herdsman stands behind them leaning on his stick, looking
towards the gentleman. The brilliant effect of a fine morning
lends its charms to the scene. Engraved by Lupton.
Exhibited in the British Gallery in 1815.
Now in the collection of the Earl of Carlisle.

240. Cattle near a River. A herd of five cows, three of
which are lying down, are distributed over a verdant meadow,
forming the fore-ground of the picture. One of the nearest is
of a yellow colour, and a second, placed in the centre, is of a
dark red hue; these are reposing. Upon the summit of a
hillock beyond them, are a woman and two herdsmen. The
view is bounded by a hedge, which extends for a considerable
distance along the bank of the river. A fine evening effect.
3 st. by 4 st. 6 in.—C. (about.}
Exhibited in the British Gallery in 1832.
