75. A Hawking Party. The view represents a country of
a highly picturesque character, composed, on the right, of
a decayed elm standing on a broken bank, and a little beyond
it is an enclosed meadow7, in which are an ox and a horse; the
view is then bounded by a v7ood. Upon a winding road,
which leads from the front and along the skirts of the wood,
is a falconer carrying a hoop of hawks, followed by two dogs;
and a little retired from him is a second sportsman, sitting
by the side of the road, with two dogs near him : considerably
beyond these is a gentleman on a dun-colour horse, accom-
panied by a lady on a gray one, followed by dogs. The left
of the view offers a valley of considerable extent, agreeably
diversified; and the aspect of a fine morning lends a charm
to the scene. The figures are admirably introduced by
Lingelbach. Dated 1661.
