24. A Hawking Party. The company consists of three
gentlemen and a lady, with suitable attendants, and dogs,
assembled in front of a noble mansion situate on the left, only
part of which is seen, with a portal and enclosed shrubberies.
The foremost of the party is a gentleman on a black and
white restive horse, in the rear of which is another on a pie-
bald, with a hawk on his hand, at whose side is the lady on
a bay horse. Behind these is a page in a red dress, holding
a fine spirited grey hunter, while its rider mounts. A sump-
ter mule attends them. The lady of the mansion leans on the
balustrade, watching their departure. Painted in a broader
style than usual.

25. The Angels appearing to the Shepherds. The prin-
cipal group is here placed on the right, near some trees, from
which is suspended a shelter of canvas. Among the several
persons under and around it are two women (one of whom has
a child in her arms), a boy lying asleep, and a man kneeling.
Nearer the front are, a second shepherd in an attitude of
adoration, and two others similarly engaged at the foot of a
tree. About the centre of the foreground are a grey horse
and a brown one standing together, an ass lying down, two
sheep, a dog, and a goat; and a little way off are seen some
shepherds near a tent.
