(Supplementary) Comtesse de Verrue, Paris, April 9, 1737, No. 45 (3000 francs) ; see Ch. Blanc, i. 14. 2. JACOB LEAVING LABAN. Sm. 2. In the left foreground of a broad plain backed by lofty hills Jacob and his family, with his servants, cattle and sheep, and herdsmen, move forward on their journey. The composition includes twenty-six figures, with two horses, four camels, seven cattle, two mules, an ass, two monkeys, over sixty sheep, a dog, two goats, and a kid. On one of the goats in the foreground a boy rides, supported by his mother. In front Jacob, a man in the prime of life, rides a dark horse. To the right of him is Rachel, riding a grey horse with panniers ; she holds an infant at her breast. In the right middle distance an abrupt height is crowned with buildings and a tower. Other buildings are at the foot. In the Wallace Collection catalogue (1908) the picture is wrongly entitled, " The Departure of Jacob into Egypt," for Jacob was a very old man at that time, whereas in this picture he and his whole family are still young. It is an exceptionally fine work, especially as regards the figures and animals. The cloud to the left is rather black. [Cf. 37 and 50.)
