124. A Lady and a Gentleman halting on a road. The
latter person has dismounted from a grey horse ; and having
thrown his red cloak over his steed’s back, is holding its
bridle. The lady is mounted on a bright chestnut palfrey,
with her back to the spectator; two dogs follow them. On
the right are, a peasant, with a bundle on his shoulder and a
stick in his hand, and a woman seated, with a child in her
arms. Painted in the artist’s third manner.

125. A Hunting Party halting at a country inn. The
principal group consists of a lady and two gentlemen ; one of
the latter, dressed in a scarlet coat, and mounted on a grey
horse, is drinking out of a jug; the other has dismounted,
while a boy arranges the stirrup of his steed; the lady rides
a roan palfrey, and is seen in a front view talking to the host,
behind whom is a boy removing a frightened child out of
the way of two fighting dogs. A little retired, on the oppo-
site side, are a lady and a gentleman belonging to the party.
The distant country is hilly, and partially obscured by haze.
This beautiful picture is a fine example of the artist’s third
style of painting.
