39. Les Sevreuses. The scene represents a rustic apartment, in which are two women and six children. One of the former is seated in the centre, holding a sleeping child in her arms; the other sits opposite to her, embracing a little girl: by the side of the latter are three other children, one of whom is a boy with a bird in his hand, which he appears to have just taken from a trap; at the same time another boy is holding a great dog by a string. A cat crouched in the cradle, and a variety of objects appropriate to the room, are admirably introduced. Engraved by P. C. Ingouf, 1769, from a picture then in the cabinet of M. Tilliard.

40. La Malédiction Paternelle. The subject represents a respectable family thrown into disorder by the misconduct of the eldest son, either by gambling or some similar act of folly, and he appears to be about quitting his paternal

abode, but is suddenly restrained by his eldest sister, a younger brother, and a second sister, all of whom are uniting their entreaties to prevent his departure: the incensed father sits on the opposite side of the apartment, with outstretched hands and a countenance agitated with indignation, venting his maledictions on his disobedient son, while a third sister is on her knees, endeavouring to appease his anger. Engraved by R. Gaillard; and in small, anonymous.

Engraved by R. Gaillard.

42. La Cruche cassée. This much-admired picture represents a handsome young woman, dressed in the picturesque garb of a peasant, standing in a front view, with a bunch of roses in her hand, and some more flowers in her apron; holding on her arm the remains of her broken pitcher, the
