16. The Interior of a Remise, in which a Hawking Party
have halted to bait. Among the company is a gentleman,
on a prancing bay horse, behind which are another gentle-
man, on a roan horse, and a lady, on a bay, with a hawk on
her hand, these appear to be just entering the place ; on the
same side is a gentleman, in the act of mounting his steed ;
close to the front, are two children, playing with a kid. In
the opposite side, are a piebald, a bay, and a grey horse, the
latter of which is drinking out of a pail, and near these are
two grooms.

In the Public Gallery, Hesse Cassel.
17. A Field of Battle. Among the confusion of numbers
which meet the eye in every direction, is a group of six
cavalry combatants, on the left of the foreground, one of
whom, mounted on a prancing grey horse, is in the act of
making a back-handed cut at his adversary, who, although
bestriding his fallen horse, is turning round to discharge his
carbine; on the right of these, are a standard-bearer, on a
roan charger, and another soldier, on a grey, defending
themselves against a body of infantry ; several slain lie under
their feet, and a wounded man, with both hands on his breast,
is escaping through a pool of water. On the opposite side
may be observed, a soldier on a bay horse, defending himself
with the butt end of his pistol, against a soldier on foot,
armed with a spear ; beyond these is a sanguinary conflict
between infantry and cavalry. This very excellent picture is
painted in the artist’s second manner. See description No. 40,
Vol. i.
3 st. 4 by 4 ft. 4.—C.
Valued by the Experts du Musee, 1816, at 12,000 fr. (4807)
In the Louvre. Worth 800Z.
