47. Waterfalls. The scene exhibits a hilly country, with
a fall of water on either side; that on the right is supplied
by a stream which ssows between high banks, and under a
rustic bridge; the other stream is divided by a rocky ele-
vation, and the fall is feeble. The waters of both falls
mingle in eddies on the front ground. The second distance
is diversified with ssax and other fields, beyond which is a
lofty hill, whose sides are thickly studded with young oak-
trees and bushes, which conceal in part several cottages;
but of these the nearest stands at the base of the hill, and is
entirely seen. The summit of a snow-capped mountain is
visible above the woody hill. A man and a woman in con-
versation are on the bridge, and another man, with a wallet
on his shoulder, is approaching from the left. The appear-
ance is that of a fine day. This is a carefully wrought work
of the master.
