50. A Woman milking. The scene represents a sloping
meadow on the banks of the Maes, showing a distant view
of the church and town of Dordrecht. On the left is a
group of six cows, two of which are reposing; and one, of a
reddish-brown hue, is being milked by a woman, near whom
lie two brass milk cans. The appearance of a fine summer’s
morning gives its magic charms to this excellent work of art.
