earth, nor in the waters under the earth. Another 
beautiful one, reprefenting two of the mufes, one 
playing on the lyre, the other with a mask on her 
head. Another, with a lion, wood, and diflant views. 
In another, various centaurs, buildings, &c. In an- 
other, a flag ; over which is a bird flying, and feem- 
ing to beak at him. Two other fmall pictures of a 
dolphin. Another with architecture, and diflant 
views. One with a peacock. Another with a tem- 
ple, adorn’d with various pillars. j • • 
There are many others of lefs notice, which you

on one is a woman, by whom is a man naked, killing 
a hog : on the reverfe, is an old man, naked to his 
waift, fitting and playing on two pipes, which he 
holds in his hands. There is alfo another odd piece 
in baffo-relievo, which reprefents a green parrot, 
drawn in a chariot, and driven by a green grafshop-
