and a child, in advance of whom is a loaded cart, drawn by a
grey horse, attended by two men while it descends a steep
road to the river, in which a traveller on a bay horse, and
leading a laden grey one, is watering his beast. Two men
with mules are near him, and a woman with a child at her
back is passing the ford. This is painted in his first manner.
