5. Sportsmen on the bank of a river. A view of a moun-
tainous scene in Italy, divided by a river, on the banks of
which are two sportsmen on horseback, one of them, in a red
dress, rides a brown horse, and the other is on a white one;
they are approaching a fordable part of the river, followed by
a number of dogs, and preceded by a boy, leading a mule
through the stream. The surrounding country is destitute
of trees, and the general appearance indicates it to be early
in the morning.

In the Dairy House of the Palace of Tzarkozelo. Worth 450 gs.

6. Cattie passing a stream. A view in Italy, represented
under the aspect of a fine evening. A lucid stream ssows at
the base of some rocks, and sweeps in gentle ripples along
the foreground ; here two cows, a goat, an ass, two sheep,
and a dog, are passing under the care of a woman, who is in
the act of stepping up the bank, on which she has deposited
her basket and bottle. The view is bounded on the opposite
side by a few low poplars growing on a bank. This is a pure
and exquisite production.
