sitting together, and a woman standing before them. In

97- Saint John. The view exhibits a woody and sequestered
scene, divided obliquely by a river, which branches off’ in the
centre to the distant hills. Rich clusters of bushes clothe the
banks of the stream, and some buildings are faintly perceived
between the trees, at the foot of a distant hill on the right; on
which side is a stag slaking its thirst at the river. A clump of
large trees occupy the left of the fore-ground, under the shadow
of which reclines the youthful saint, having a staff' on his arm,
and his attention directed to a sheep browsing on the bank.
Painted for M. Gainar.
98. A Herdsman watering his Cattle. In the composition
of this picture is a large cluster of beautiful trees growing in
the centre of the view, on a bank clothed with bushes, which
form the boundary of a stream, covering a portion of the
fore-ground; beyond these, on the left, are some lofty cliffs,
surmounted by an old tower. On the opposite side, the view
extends over a varied country to the distant hills. Close to
the front, is seated a herdsman, of athletic form, leaning
forward on his knee, with a crook in his hand, looking towards
three oxen, two of which are in the water ; and the third is
about to enter; behind the latter are two goats. Painted for
Signor Giovani Lelio.
