39. Two Cows at pasture. The scene of this little pic-
ture represents a ssat country, with a cottage and a mill at
some distance off, at the side. In a meadow, composing the
foreground, are a red cow, seen in a side view lying down, and
a dark one with a whitish nose standing beyond it, with its
head directed towards the mill. Morning.
9^ in. by 12^.—P.
In the Collection of Mons. Kalkbrenner, Paris.
40. A Farmer on Horseback, speaking to a Herdsman.
A view, representing pasture lands adjacent to a river, extend-
ing along the middle distance, and with a cottage at the side,
and two trees growing before it. Upon a road in the fore-
ground is a farmer on horseback, seen in a hinder position,
apparently speaking to a herdsman, who stands at the side of
the road leaning on his staff; near whom are seated two
women; five cows, two of which are lying down, occupy
some rising ground behind them. Various small vessels are
perceived on the river. A fine summer’s morning.
About 2 st. 4 by 3 st. 2.
In the possession of Baron Noskey.
41. The young Shepherdesses. This capital picture evi-
dently represents the portraits of the children of some family
of distinction. The composition presents on the left, two
young ladies sitting together under the shelter of a clump of
trees and bushes: one of them, dressed in an orange-coloured
gown, is forming a wreath of wild ssowers, and the other is
feeding a lamb ; at the same instant, a child in a crimson
frock, is advancing towards them, leading a lamb by a string '•
two sheep are by the side of the eldest girl, one of which
is lying down. Clusters of docks, and other wild herbage of
vigorous growth, give picturesque effect to the foreground.
A river ssows along the middle distance, beyond which rises
a lofty church. The effect is that of a summer’s afternoon.
