32. A Woman scouring a pot. A landscape, with a cot-
tage of a picturesque appearance embosomed in trees, having
a pent-house attached to it, under which is a woman occupied
scouring a pot upon the top of a cask. A stream glides
along the front of the building. On the opposite side is a
road leading between banks over a hill on which is seen
approaching a gentleman on horseback; a woman and a
child are reposing at the side of the road, with a basket near
them; and at some distance off, in the centre of the scene,
may be observed a second cottage among trees.

33. Huntsmen and Attendants. This capital and splendid
work of the combined masters Wynants and Adrian Vander
Velde, represents a scene of unusual beauty and extent. On
the right of the picture is a high bank, with two trees of
scanty foliage at its side, and an abundance of thistles, docks,
and other herbage; from hence the eye looks over some
rising and undulating ground to a thick wood, which extends
receding to the bank of a river in the left of the picture. On
this side is a road leading from the foreground in a winding
direction into the distant landscape. The figures which em-
bellish the scene consist of two gentlemen on horseback, with
attendants and dogs, both of whom are receding from the
spectator; the nearest to the front has a gun on his shoulder,
and is followed by three dogs; the other gentleman is
mounted on a grey horse ; he appears to have halted to speak
to a man on foot. Two attendants are in advance; one of
them bearing a hoop of hawks, the other a long pole. Four
sheep browse at the side; at a distance beyond them is a
