Landscapes.
This picture was presented with many others, by the late
Sir George Beaumont, to the National Gallery, in 1826.
107. A Hersdsman driving Cattle through a River. This
beautiful scene represents on the right a large river, which
winds round a cluster of trees and bushes, and thence is again
visible in the distant landscape. Some bushes and ruined
arches form the boundary of the stream ; beyond which is a
chateau and other buildings on a hill, enclosed by a wall.
Close to the front is a herdsman, followed by a dog, driving
before him, through the river, two oxen and four goats ; a sixth
beast has reached the bank, and is going towards a road,
which winds into the distant country on the left. Painted for
the Prince Panfilio.
108. The Marriage of Pan and Flora. The subject is
represented as passing on the fore-ground of a rocky and ro-
mantic scene. The two principal persons, Pan and Flora, are
seated together upon a rustic eminence on the left, sheltered
by a cluster of overhanging trees; behind them are three
nymphs, one of whom is kneeling : the attention of the whole
is directed to a company of seven nymphs and satyrs, who,
together with a boy and goat, are dancing to the music of
pipes and the tambourine, played by nymphs and fauns,
grouped near a bush on the right. On this side the eye looks
over a river, on which is a boat, and on the opposite side to a
grove of trees covering a rocky hill. Painted for Mr. Dufort,
and subsequently in the possession of Mr. Hubert, and Sir
Thomas Frankland, Bart.
109- A Herdsman and a Woman on an Ass, passing a
River with Cattle. The view exhibits a hilly and well-wooded
