24. Travellers halting at an Inn. This capital picture ex-
hibits a broken, hilly country, with an inn of a picturesque
appearance on the right, entered by a flight of steps. Among
a numerous company of persons who have halted to refresh,
is a group of five, one of whom is seated on a basket, another
is handing his companion a glass of liquor, and a third stands
by a trough at which two horses are feeding; these are har-
nessed to a waggon, in which are a man and a woman, the
former of whom is taking a parcel from a man at the side.
In addition to these, may be noticed a man leading an ox by
a cord. Several cottages, receding in succession, conduct
the eye into the distant landscape. A clear and admirable
example of the master.

Beyond these is a second sledge, drawn by a grey horse, the
driver of which is stooping for something. Close to the front
are five boys, two of whom are fastening on their skates, and
a third is seated on a board. Painted in the artist’s crisp
or sparkling manner.
