216 JOHN AND ANDREW BOTH.
four peasants, who appear to be in conversation ; one of them
is seated sideways on an ass, a second stands at the head of the
beast, and the remaining two are on the opposite side of the
road, one of them seated. A laden ass is near the latter persons,
at the entrance of a road leading to the bridge, beyond which
is a traveller. Bushes, brambles, and a variety of the details
of nature, give interest to the fore-ground, and the whole
scene glows with the warmth of a summer’s afternoon.

120. Travellers attacked by Robbers. This subject is
represented as passing on a high road, leading through a wild
and mountainous country, rendered picturesque and interesting
by clusters of lofty trees, craggy rocks, and the cooling fresh-
ness of a waterfall. The cattle and figures are by the pencil
of Wouwermans.

121. A View in Italy, representing a mountainous scene,
divided by a river, supposed to be that of the Tiber, whose
banks are adorned with clusters of trees and underwood. The
surrounding country offers the usual variety of hill and dale,
and lofty abrupt rocks, clothed in part with bushes, from amidst
which gushes a stream, which falls foaming into an adjacent
ravine. Upon a high road which winds through the land-
scape, are herdsmen with cattle, and travellers; the distance
terminates with the mountain soracte.

This capital picture was bequeathed, with many others, together
with a large collection of prints, to the University of Cambridge, by
Lord Viscount Fitzwilliam.
