13. Travellers halting on the bank of a River. The view
exhibits a mountainous country, divided by a winding pass,
and intersected by a river, on the bank of which is a group
of persons, among whom is a gentleman, wearing a scarlet
cloak, mounted on a bay horse, with his back to the spec-
tator ; on his right is a horse, laden with casks and baggage,
and on his left, are a man and woman reposing, and a man
tying up baggage; beyond these is a herd of cattle, and still
farther, are seen travellers descending the pass.

15. Mount Calvary. This admirably finished picture repre-
sents the celebrated mount rising in the centre of the view,
and the cross of the Saviour, between those of the two thieves,
standing on its summit. The awful event is accomplished,
and the executioners are seen descending the hill, bearing
the ladders, and other implements, used on the occasion ;
these are preceded by four horsemen, one of whom is on a
bright bay charger, another is on a roan, and the third on a
prancing grey horse, and the remaining one rides a dark
brown horse, and carries a banner in his hand. The three
Marys still remain at the foot of the cross of their Lord.
A portion of the city of Jerusalem is seen in the distance.
