604 NICHOLAS BERGHEM.
33. Travellers on mules, and a man on foot, meeting a
herdsman with an ox. Engraved by Daudet in the Le Brun
gallery. This picture has been judged to be the joint pro-

among the works of Both, No. 14, Vol. vi.; and read, for

In the Collection of Mme. Hosfman, Haarlem.

34. The Stubborn Ass. This beautiful picture represents
an Italian scene, under the appearance of sunrise. In the
foreground is a group, composed of a muleteer striking his

a goat. From hence the eye looks over an open country,
bounded by distant hills, in the centre of which may be
observed the ruin of a chateau. The view farther presents
on the left a mass of rocks, from whence issues a fountain,
at which a herdsman with a drove of oxen is slaking his
thirst. A river ssows along the extremity of the foreground.

sionally meets with in passing the Alps or Appenines,
situate close to high perpendicular rocks, surmounted by
buildings and a few bushes. The party consists of a lady, a
