204 JOHN AND ANDREW BOTH.
The river ssows obliquely to the right, and from hence the
eye looks to the distant hills, diversified with trees and build-
ings. The figures which animate the scene, consist of the
artist, represented sitting on the bank of the river, drawing,
while a shepherd stands by his side, apparently conversing
with him ; and two men, a cow, and a laden ass, are on the
left. A fine summer’s evening sun gilds the scene.

89- A grand Waterfall. The picture is chiessy composed
of an extensive cataract of water, rolling rapidly over rocks
to the fore-ground, bounded on one side by mountains, and
on the other by a high rocky bank, along which is a rugged
road; in this part may be observed four men, two of whom
have descended the bank, and one of them is dipping up
water in a jug; the other two are about to join them. The
distance terminates with a large round hill. The warmth of
a fine summer’s evening lends its charm to the scene.

90. A River Scene, with vessels. This picture is dis-
tinguished by a row of buildings situate near a river, along the
shore of which lie several vessels. On the fore-ground are two
peasants conducting laden horses, and a waggon drawn by oxen,
along a road. The aspect is that of a fine sunny evening.

clusters of trees and bushes. On the farther side of these,
and the right of the spectator, is seen a portion of a building.
