62. Peasants at their Repast. The figures are said to be
the portraits of the artist, his wife, and son. The former is
seated in a profile view, with a piece of dried fish in one hand,
and a knife in the other. The youth stands on the left of
his father, with a bottle in his hand ; and behind him is the
woman, holding a quantity of vegetables. Part of a loaf,
some dried fish, and a piece of cheese, lie on a bank at the
foot of a tree in front.

63. The Poulterer’s Shop. A man, wearing a light brown
dress and a white cap, stands within an arched window,
holding up a pheasant, which a young woman appears to be
disposed to buy, and is pointing to some pieces of money
which lie on the sill of the window, as the sum which she is
disposed to give for it. A basket of eggs, some ducks,
pigeons, and hairs’ skins, are on the sill, the under part of
which is adorned with a bas-relief.
64. (The Companion.) A Young Woman, dressed in a
striped gown, with a red boddice and a blue apron, standing
at an arched window, reaching down a brace of wood-pigeons
which hang at the side. Behind her is a youth, with a dish
of beef in his hands. A fowl, some parsnips, carrots and
celery, are on the sill, the under part of which is adorned
with a bas-relief. These very beautiful pictures are dated
1727.
