In the centre of a courtyard surrounded by buildings are two saddled horses, a grey and a bay. The two huntsmen have dismounted and rest near a well adorned with the statue of a woman. One man pours out a glass of wine for his companion. The hostess, with a child on her arms, comes out of the house, bringing a jug of wine. To the left, near the well, are two washerwomen.

Baggage- Waggons in a Shed. Two loaded waggons, seen in the half-light of the shed, come in through the great door in the left back- ground. The larger, a tilt-waggon, is drawn by three horses ; the smaller one is loaded with bedding, with a basket of poultry and another of utensils on the top. In the left foreground an armed horseman in a red cloak, on a grey horse, converses with a woman carrying a child in her arms. Near a manger to the right is a grey horse between two bay horses. A man, hat in hand, walks past. A little boy runs with a dog. The picture is somewhat hard in style, so that its authenticity seems doubtful. One may instance the household goods on the waggon. Other details, however, are very well done, so that it may be a much-restored original. Signed on the left with the full monogram, which does not look bad ; panel, i8| inches by 24^ inches.
