 360 PHILIPS WOUWERMAN SECT. 369. The Shying Horse. A train of baggage-waggons goes along a road intersected by a river. To the right is a farm. A loaded waggon with four horses goes slowly up the hill. The two front horses have reached the summit, while the two others, led by the driver, exert all their strength. At the foot of the road a horse refuses to cross the ford, to the great alarm of a woman in the waggon, and in spite of the driver who pulls the horse by the bridle and lashes it with his whip. The farmer looks on ; a woman with a child at her breast sits at the roadside conversing with a man carrying a bundle. To the left is a landscape. [Compare 367-] Sale.
