49- The old Gateway. The view represents a country of
a sterile appearance, chiessy composed of broken sandy soil,
intersected with dilapidated hedges, and adorned with a few
trees. A rugged road leads from the front to an old brick
gateway, beyond which is an avenue of trees. Recent rains
appear to have ssooded the road, and the clear stream ressects
the bright azure of the superambent sky.

50. A Man watering his Horse. The scene represents a
view in Holland, and is composed in the centre of a large
sheet of water ssowing at the base of a hill; several windmills
are distributed in the surrounding country, and on the left is
a beautiful tree upon a knoll, the deep verdure of which is
opposed against a brilliant sky. Upon a road, on the right,
which is skirted in part by bushes, are a man leading a horse
to water, and a woman carrying a pot on her head. Three
swans are also introduced on the water.
