SUPPLEMENT
TO THE WOKKS OF
JOHN BOTH.

1. The Waggon and Oxen. A view in Italy, representing
a mountainous country, under the appearance of a sultry
evening. The scene exhibits, on the left, a chain of lofty
craggy hills, which extend receding over half the piece ; a
river winds along their base to the foreground, crossed in
the distance by a bridge, near which is a building with a
tower. Two lofty trees grow amidst rocks near the centre
of the foreground, and on the left is a road leading round a
bank, on which are two trees ; in this part is seen approach-
ing a waggon, drawn by two oxen, driven by a man seated
in it.
1 st. by 1 st. 4.—P.
Imported by Mr. Chaplin, 1838. Sold to Jones Lloyd, Esq.
2. A Traveller seated on the bank of a stream. A land-
scape, exhibiting a view of great extent, divided in the centre
by a row of trees ; to the left of these is a prie-dieu; and on
an eminence in the interval, is another dilapidated building.
The figures which tend to enliven the scene, consist of a
traveller sitting on the bank of a stream, through which a
man on horseback is passing; two other travellers on mules
are approaching. The distant country offers a succession of
hills, clothed in part with trees, and watered by a river.
Described from a sketch.
About 6 st. by 8 st.—C.
Now in the Christianberg Palace, Copenhagen.
