horse, which he still holds by the bridle, and at the same
time caresses a young woman at a well. A boy, seated on
the step os the door, is behind him; and a woman is at the
half-door of the house, looking at a youth, who is extending
his hand to take some grapes from a man above; the other
gentleman, mounted on a bay horse, with a hawk on his
hand, is under an archway which crosses the road at the
extremity of the building, followed by a woman with a bundle
of linen on her head, and two dOgs. Some poultry are in
front. Painted in the artist’s second manner. See No. 224,
Vol. I. corrected.
