Described in Smith’s Catalogue (part v, p. 347, n° 221) as follows :

« A Farmer on Horseback, conversing with a Herdsman. The view appears to be taken from the vicinity of Nemwygen, and is com- posed, on the left (right), of a high road leading to a chain of moun- tains, at the base of which are several ancient buildings with towers. A river flows on the right (left), the banks of which are fringed with bushes. Near this part are a flock of sheep and two cows; the latter are lying down; and in the road is a man in a red jacket on a white horse, apparently in conversation with the herdsman. A third peasant is near the mountains. The effect of a beautiful summer's evening pervades the scene, and light diaphanous clouds float over the azure sky. This is a production of the rarest excellence and beauty. »>
