Landscapes.
a large open meadow, of a broken and undulated surface, in
which a number of goats are browsing : clusters of trees of
various kinds grow on the bank of a stream on the right, and
on the opposite side are two trees, whose trunks cross each
other: the picture is farther identified by a female, attired in
a blue and yellow dress, standing on the fore-ground, in con-
versation with a youth, who bends on one knee before her.
An early production of the master.
11^ in. by 16% in.—C.
Now on sale, at Mr. Yates’s Gallery.
317. Peasants driving Cattle. The view exhibits a hilly
country, delightfully diversified with clusters of trees, and a
river, and represented under the appearance of a fine morning:
on the fore-ground are a man and a woman, with their backs to
the spectator, driving a large herd of cattle round the foot of
a hill, and some of the beasts have mounted its summit; from
hence the eye looks over a range of hills, partially clothed with
bushes, on one of which may be discerned a building, with a
high square tower; on the opposite side is a fine cluster of
trees, standing on the verge of a wood. Engraved by T.
Mason, from a picture then in the collection of Henry Hoare,
Esq., and now in that of Sir Richard Colt Hoare, Bart., at
S tourhead.
318. Two Men lifting a Burthen from the shoulders of
another. The view represents a sea-port, on the left of which
stands a handsome portico, only a portion of which is seen;
beyond this is a building, decorated with pilasters; an esplanade
of stone work extends along the front of these buildings, on
which are two men removing a burthen srom the shoulders of
