181. The Rainbow. A landscape, exhibiting a moun-
tainous country, divided in the centre by a winding river,
crossed by a bridge, near which are several cottages. A
second bridge, composed of wood, is close to the front, and
a stream ripples under it in gurgling eddies. The figures
which embellish the scene, consist of a shepherd and shep-
herdess, who are standing together on the right of the fore-
ground ; on the farther side of them is seated a peasant at
the foot of a tree, with a pipe in his hands, which he appears
to have just ceased playing, and is looking up at a rainbow ;
a third peasant is reposing on the ground, resting his arm
on a brass can, and a shepherdess in a white and blue dress
sits by him. At some distance osf on the left is a large
ssock of sheep, and a few goats browsing on a sloping bank.
The appearance of a recent shower pervades the surrounding
scene. This picture nearly corresponds with No. 400, Vol. II.
