two thin trees, and from thence the eye looks over a hilly
country, obscured by the hazy dews of the evening. An
excellent example of the master.

Collection of Jeremiah Harman, Esq. 1830.
81. A Traveller leading his beast over a rustic Bridge.
A landscape, exhibiting a bold rocky scene, composed, on the
right, of a lofty mountain, extending across one half the
picture; upon its summit is a tower, partly concealed by
trees which grow on a jutting rock at the side; around its
base flows a stream, which falls in cascades on the front-
ground. Upon a rustic bridge, abutting against a fragment
of a rock, is a traveller leading his beast, preceded by another
on a gray horse, and on a winding road at the foot of some
rocks is seen a lady in a blue dress, mounted on a mule,
attended by a man on foot, who appears to be speaking to
a peasant seated on a bank. Close to the left are two trees
rising from amongst brambles and underwood, and beyond
these is seen a continuation of the stream, on the farther side
of which the eye views a barren tract of country, bounded by
hills. The delightful effect of sun-rise pervades the scene.
Engraved by Duttenofer, in the Musee Frangais.
Aft. 9 in. by 6 ft. 4 in.—C. s about.)
Valued by the Experts du Musee, 1816. 40,000./$., 1600Z.
Now in the Louvre.
82. Two Gentlemen halting on a road. A view in Italy,
composed of a lofty hill on the right, finely diversified with
trees and bushes, and having a cascade gushing from its side,
which flows along- its base. A road from the front traverses
obliquely the fore-ground, on which are two gentlemen, one of
whom has alighted from a gray horse, and is seated, tieing his
boot, while his companion is having something done to his
stirrup by a peasant. On the summit of a hill, a little way
