27. View on a Canal in Winter. The scene is distin-
guished by a round tower on the left bank of the stream,
beyond which are two bridges. Among the numerous per-
sons distributed over the ice, may be noticed a man pushing
along a sledge, with a fat gentleman in it; a little beyond
which is a second sledge, laden with casks ; and in advance
of these is a third, laden with goods; and a fourth, drawn
by two horses, is near some buildings.
2 ft. 9 by 3 ft. 4.—C.
In the Collection of William Crerie, Esq. Manchester.
28. A Man conducting a Sledge laden with straw. This
excellent picture exhibits a view on a canal during a severe
frost; and the frigid scene is animated by a great number of
villagers partaking of the amusements peculiar to the season.
Of the variety which here meet the eye, the most conspicuous
are, a sledge laden with straw, on which a peasant is seated,
drawn by a bay horse, and driven by a man in a brown
jacket. Close behind this object, are, a man descending a
board, to enter on the ice; a boy fixing on his scates, and
two other youths. On the same side are two thatched cot-
tages, enclosed with paling, at which the owner of a white
horse has halted. On the opposite side are two boys and a
dog.
\st. 6| by 2 st. 01—P.
In the Collection of the Baron Delessert, Paris.
29. A View on a High Road, at the side of which, and
under the shade of a clump of trees, are two men and a
woman reposing, with whom a traveller, bending under the
weight of a burden, stands to converse. See description,
No. 55, Vol. I.; and read, for size,
I# 7 by 1ft. 2s.—P.
Purchased with the Boursault Collection by Mr. Arteria, for
Edmund Higginson, Esq. of Saltmarsh Castle.
