7. Cattle at Pasture. In a sloping meadow, forming the
foreground of a somewhat hilly country, are three oxen, three
sheep, and a lamb : one of the former, of a red hue, and
another of a mouse colour, are lying down, and the third one
stands by them ; two of the sheep and also the lamb are
reposing near the trunk of a tree, and the remaining sheep
is a little retired on the opposite side. The effect is that of
a fine summer’s afternoon.

with an adjoining high wall, above which rises a fine umbra-
geous tree. On the right and front of the picture, is a group
of about six persons, consisting of muleteers and other travel-
lers, two of whom are seated, playing at cards; the rest are
either looking or in conversation. A piebald horse stands
near the centre, and beyond it is a laden mule. In the left
is a boy standing with his back to the spectator, and a dog
by him : a woman is visible at the door of the inn. The sun
has set, and the shades of evening give a sombre hue to the
scene. Painted in a broad and spirited manner.

Purchased of a Banker at Paris, and imported by Messrs. Smith.
