233. A Hawking Party halting at an ancient mansion.
Among the company are, a gentleman on a bay horse, seen
in a front view, with his hat in one hand, and a hawk perched
on the finger of the other; behind him is a lady on a chest-
nut palsrey, raising her veil with one hand, and holding a
hawk on the other. A second huntsman, in a brown dress,
stands by the side of a fine grey horse, ready to mount; near
these is a page holding two dogs in leash. On the opposite
side, and a little retired from the front, is a groom watering
two horses in a river. A few buildings are discovered in the
surrounding country, the distant parts of which are partially
obscured by haze. The figures and animals in this superb
picture are larger than usual, yet they are nevertheless finished
with the same elaborate care as his smaller works. See de-
