122. Three Peasants in conversation. The view exhibits
an Italian scene, and offers, on the left, a pile of rocks which
extend into the extreme distance; a few bushes and light trees
grow on their sterile sides, and a gentle cascade foams at their
base, and extends along a portion of the fore-ground. On the
opposite side are two herdsmen and a boy, one of the former is
seated on a bank, while the other, having a staff in his hand,
stands in conversation with him: beyond these is a man on an
ass, accompanied by another on foot, who is driving a laden
ass over a causeway, leading to a pass in the rocks. The
glowing warmth of sun-set is diffused throughout the scene.
