In the fore- ground are two dogs ; farther back figures are placed here and there. In spite of the full signature, the catalogue attributed this picture to E. de Witte, to whose work it bore much less resemblance than to that of Cuyp.

A COWSHED. A whitish-brown ox stands in profile to the left ; in front of him to the left lies a black cow. Both are fastened up with a cord on the right. In the stable to the left lies a goat. The cattle are grouped precisely the same as in the pictures belonging to the Brussels Museum (753), the late R. Kann (755), the late M. Kann (215), and the Rijksmuseum (180), in the last two of which the scene is laid in the open. This picture lacks only the landscape vista. There is a repainted passage in the left fore-foot of the ox ; the foot was first placed farther forward. Panel, ii inches by 16 inches. Described and illustrated by Professor C. J. Holmes, Burlington Magazine, March 1908, p. 373. An inscription on the back states that the picture was given by Lord Bess- borough to Bouvery, 1795, on condition that it should be kept as an heirloom at Hall. In the possession of the London dealers Dowdeswell, winter 1907-8. In the collection of Berthold Richter, Berlin.
