PHILIP WOUWERMANS.

221. (The Companion.) A Hunting Party, assembled in
front of an ancient mansion, situate on the left of the picture.
The party chiefly consist of a lady, attired in a blue dress,
mounted on a roan palfrey, shading her face with a fan; a
gentleman on a restive grey horse, on her left; and a lady
on a bay horse, holding up a parasol, is beyond them. Nearer
the spectator is a huntsman on his knees, busy with two dogs;
two falconers, bearing hoops on which hawks are perched,
are also in the suite. In the opposite side of the picture is a
groom exercising a horse round a post. This is very inferior
to the preceding, the colouring having become too brown to
be agreeable.

222. Restive Horses. The principal group consists of a
fine grey mottled stallion, which is rearing up, and a restive
dun-coloured mare. The former is restrained by a groom, who
holds him by a long cord, assisted by a man with a stick.
The movement of the animals appears to have knocked down
a boy, who lies sprawling on the ground with his hat off.
They are near a shed, within which are seen two horses. At
a little distance are two men on horseback, one of whom
appears to be hallowing, and still farther are a woman and a
child passing along the side of a high bank. See description,
No. 465, Vol. I, improved.
