Some persons are bathing in the river j others are watering their horses or angling. On the right a man fastens a bundle on a horse, which a beggar holds by the bridle. Near him a man and a woman sit on the ground ; another man leans asleep against a bank. In the middle distance is a wooded hill, with a pass on which are other figures. On the top of the hill a herdsman tends an ox and a sheep. Many passages in this picture look very suspicious, as, for example, the way in which the hills to the left are rendered against the sky, and the grey horse in the centre.
