181. A Boor, advanced in years, having on a slouched hat,
in which is stuck a pipe, seated, in the act of turning to an
old woman, who has a pot of embers in her hand. Half-
length figures. Painted in his Brouwer manner.
8 in. by 5.—P.
In the possession of Mr. Donaldson, Edinburgh.
182. A Boor, wearing a scarlet cap, seated, lighting his
pipe ; an earthen cruise stands on the ssoor by his side, and
three men are round a fire in the back of the room. See
description No. 259, Vol. II. A clear, silvery-coloured
picture.
7 in. by 8^.—P.
Purchased by Messrs. Smith of Lord Wharncliffe in 1841, and
sold to William Theobald, Esq.
183. Villagers Merry-making. The company consists of
about thirty persons, assembled in the enclosed court of a
country alehouse, situate on the right of the picture ; here
two couples are seen dancing to the music of a bagpipe,
played by an old man mounted on a cask by the side of the
fence ; a cosey couple sit near him. In the opposite side of
the court are a woman with a child in her lap, another child
by her side, and a man leaning on the back of her chair:
close to this group are three boon companions chatting
together. Near the centre of the foreground are two
artisans, who appear to have freely indulged in the good
cheer of the occasion ; one of them leans against a post, the
other sits with his head resting on his arms; near these the
artist has significantly introduced two pigs. Upon a road
on the opposite side, are four women conducting home three
drunken men. An excellent production.
