89. Two Travellers reposing. A landscape, composed on
the right of high broken ground covered with masses of
trees ; and on the verge^of a hill, in the centre of the view,
is a wooden erection, to which a fence is attached, that
extends along the side and encloses a shrubbery : an old
oak, destitute of branches, stands near the fence. On the
left of the foreground is a pool of water, beyond which the
eye looks over a sterile landscape. A skilful modern hand
has animated the scene by the introduction of two travellers
reposing, a woman standing near them, and a cow grazing
close by. The appearance indicates stormy weather.
2 st. 2| by 2 st. 7s.-C.
In the Collection of the Baron Delessert, Paris.
90. A Landscape, representing a woody scene, divided in
the centre by a broad winding road of a chalky soil, repaired
in a plashy part by spars of wood laid transversely ; near
this part is a man approaching with a wallet on his shoulder,
accompanied by a boy and preceded by a dog- Painted in a
clear tone of colouring, and a bright luminous sky.
About 1 ft. 8 by 2 st.—C.
Formerly in the possession of Mons. Bourgeois, Paris, price
5500 fr. (220Z.)
91. A Waterfall. This oft-repeated subject here repre-
sents a mountainous country, with a cataract rolling amongst
jutting rocks, and spreading itself in gurgling eddies along
the whole of the foreground. The more distant country
osfers a continuity of hills, covered in part with lofty pine and
other trees, amidst which, and on the left, is a cottage, with
three fir trees rising above its roof.
About 2 st. 3 by 1 st. 9.—C.
In the Collection of the Count Moltke, Copenhagen.
