40. Cows watering. The scene here exhibits a well-wooded
country, with a pool of water in the foreground, in which are
some cows. Clusters of lofty trees rise majestically in the second
ground, and a castle, composed of a square tower, is seen in
the middle distance. On the right are perceived a few fishing
boats, and in the extreme distance is caught a glimpse of the
sea. Masses of rolling clouds partially obscure the hemi-
sphere, from amidst which breaks a transient gleam of sun-
shine, which lights up the middle of the scene. The cattle
and figures are by Vander Velde.
