PHILIP WOUWERMANS.
140. A Pilgrim asking charity. The view represents a
pass between lofty hills, surmounted by a castle, and clothed
in part with bushy trees. On the left of the foreground is a
party of villagers, consisting of two women, a little boy, and
a man on horseback ; these appear to be in conversation with
a woman seated with a child in her arms. A pilgrim has
advanced to this company, and is soliciting alms, while his
weary companion reposes on the ground. A grey horse laden
with baggage is behind the two women; and at a little dis-
tance off, is a tilted waggon descending a steep hill. The
appearance is that of a fine warm evening. Painted in the
artist’s first manner.
\st. 6 by 2 st.-P.
In the Collection of J. Newington Hughes, Esq. Winchester.
141. A Woman with a child on her back. The composi-
tion exhibits a sandy road, leading in a winding direction
between banks up a hill, on the summit of which is a cavalier
on horseback, who appears to have halted to speak to a
woman bearing a child on her back. More towards the
spectator is a traveller resting on the stump of a tree; and
on the opposite side may be observed the roof of a cottage
rising above a bank. Painted in the artist’s clear or silvery
manner.
1 st. 2s by 1 st. 1.—P.
In the Collection of Alexander Allen, Esq. Edinburgh.
142. Le Marchand de Foin. The principal object in this
beautiful picture is a ruin with a lofty archway through it,
near which are a woman on horseback, with a rake in her
hand, and a man at the head of the horse; more towards the
spectator are a white horse and a brown one feeding together,
and close to the former are a man with his wife and child
taking theii' repast; a little beyond these is a waggon being
