181. Travellers with laden horses on a road. The view
offers an open country of a broken and undulating surface,
destitute of trees. The figures which give interest to the
scene occupy some rising ground on the right, and consist of
a young woman sitting with an infant in her lap, and two
peasants, one of whom, in charge of a bay horse, has halted
to caress the female, the other is passing on with a grey
horse laden with panniers and bundles of goods ; in advance
of these are four travellers with two laden horses, traversing
the bank of a river on the left; and still more remote may
be observed a man and his beast reposing. The appearance
is that of the fine evening of an autumnal day. Painted in
the third manner of the master, clear and silvery in tone.
1 st. 2 by 1 st. 4.—P.
Bought in 1835 of Mr. Stacey of Norwich, by Mr. O’Niel, from
whom the writer obtained it, and sold it to Brook Greville, Esq., in
whose Collection it was sold at auction by Christie and Manson,
1836, for 336/. Bought by Charles Cope, Esq.
182. Drivers halting with their cattle. Engraved by Fil-
loeul, under the title of “ Les Voituriers.” See description,
No. 396, Vol. i.
In the Palace of the Hermitage, St. Petersburg.
183. Grooms watering Horses. The view is chiessy com-
posed of a large river bounded by buildings, and an old brick
tower surmounted by a statue. A man and a boy mounted
on a grey horse are quitting the river, followed by a bay
horse. Another groom, in a blue jacket, and riding a bay
horse, is letting his beast drink. Close to the left are two
women washing linen, and a man preventing a sorrel horse
