 294 PHILIPS WOUWERMAN SECT. followed by a rustic waggon. In the right distance are houses and a range of hills. [Pendant to 122.] Signed in the left-hand bottom corner with the full monogram ; panel, 13 inches by 14^ inches. Engraved by Duret as "Le Marechal de Campagne," when in the Fonsper- tuis collection, Paris (according to the Dresden catalogue) ; and also in the Musee Napoleon (Sm.). A good old copy is in the Dresden Gallery, 1905 catalogue, No. 1468 ; on copper, 15 inches by i6 inches. There is no reason to suppose that this picture, which has a " not wholly convincing " signature, is a replica by the master, as W. von Seidlitz suggests in Repertorium, xvi. 379 ; nor that the copy is by Pieter Wouwerman, as Bredius thinks. Another picture on copper, 16 inches by 19 inches, probably another copy, was in the sale Tronchin des Delices, Paris, Germinal 2., 1801 (1000 francs, Constantin) ; mentioned by Ch. Blanc, Le Tre'sor de la Curiosite, ii. 205. A copy, on panel, 14 inches by 16 inches, was in the sales N. Van Bremen, Amsterdam, December 15, 1766, No. 29; and J. A. Brentano, Amsterdam, May 13, 1822, No. 373 (625 florins). Another copy was in the sale Messchert van Vollenhoven, Amsterdam, March 29, 1892, No. 17 (3100 florins, Gottschald of Leipzig) ; it is now in the Leipzig Museum, 1903 catalogue, No. 824. Another copy is in the Mancel collection at the Caen Museum, No. 49 ; it came from the collection of Cardinal Fesch, sold at Rome, April 17, 1843, and was formerly attributed to Pieter Wouwerman. The picture, on canvas, 14 inches by 1 6 inches, of the sale P. Locquet, Amsterdam, September 22, 1783, No. 427 (210 florins, Van Braam Helsdingen), appears also to have been a copy of this Kassel picture. A picture, on canvas, 16 inches by 2i inches, the description of which accords with that of the Kassel picture, was in the sale A. J. Essingh, Cologne, September 18, 1865, No. 243. It is probably identical with the picture of the sale Jos. Metz and Jos. Montag, Cologne, December 19, 1904, No. 82, and only a copy. The Kassel picture is mentioned in the chief inventory of 1749, No. 537. In the Schloss Altstadt, Kassel, 1783 inventory, No. 28. In the Louvre, Paris, 1806-1815. In the Picture Gallery, Kassel, 1903 catalogue, No. 362 (old No. 335). 122. A GREY HORSE IN FRONT OF A FIELD SMITHY. In front of a field smithy in the extreme right foreground, two farriers are shoeing the near hind-hoof of a grey horse which is seen from the back in a foreshortened view. His rider holds him by the bridle and watches the shoeing. To the left, farther back, a mounted trumpeter halts, facing the spectator. In front of him stands a stout trooper holding his horse. A woman with two children sits by the roadside to the left. In the middle distance comes a laden waggon with two horses ; a man with a burden on his back walks beside it to the left. Farther back on the left a tilt waggon is going down a hill to the right. [Pendant to 121.] Signed on the road in the left-hand bottom corner with the full monogram ; panel, 13 inches by 15 inches. Sale. (Possibly) L. de Moni, Leyden, April 13, 1772, No. 123 (62 florins, Fullings) ; but this was more probably a copy.
