on the opposite side is a chain of rocky mountains, from the
side of which rushes a cataract, which falls among stones, and

three travellers, one of whom is on his knee drinking out of
his hand; a second stands on the margin, and the remaining

and a woman with a basket on her head, are seen at a little

the centre of the fore-ground, and the left of the scene opens

mountain. Upon a road on the same side, and in front, are
