88. — The Gamekeeper's Return
In front of a cottage, partly hidden by trees, the gamekeeper, the bridle of his poney round his right arm, holds up with his left hand a pheasant, to show it to his wife, seated in front of the cottage-door, a child in her lap. By her side, a little boy and a girl are playing with a dead hare. An older boy is standing on the farther side, and four dogs are grouped in a half-circle before their master.
