30. A Traveller with a laden Horse and an Ass. A land-
scape, exhibiting an open hilly country, interspersed with
large clusters of trees, amongst which may be discerned a
villa. Upon a high road over a hill near the centre is a man
driving a laden ass and a grey horse ; these are passing by a
woman seated at the road-side with a child in her arms; an
old man is also resting near, and a boy stands by; on the
opposite side of the road is another traveller reposing. A
fence separates this part from the adjoining grounds. The
trunk of an old oak lies among docks and thistles in the fore-
ground. The figures are by Lingelback. This is an admi-
rable production. Description, No. 17, Vol. vi. improved.
About 3 ft. 7 by 4/7. 4.—C.
In the Collection of M. le Baron Delessert, Paris.

31. Peasants driving Cattle. A view over an open coun-
try, presenting on the right a hill, which slopes off to the
opposite side, where a broken sandy hillock forms a promi-
nent object. On this stands the trunk of an old oak amidst
herbage, and the roof of a hovel is perceived on its farther
side. Upon an adjacent road are a man and a woman driving
towards the front seven sheep and three oxen; these are by
the pencil of Vandevelde. Some other figures are faintly
seen on a distant road in the opposite side. The whole scene
is chequered with enclosures, and tinged with the warmth of
a fine evening. Painted in the artist’s most finished style.
