Paris, D'Argenville, 1766, 801 francs acc. to Smith; Brussels, J. B. Horion, sale, 11 Sep. 1788, lot 71. Bt Walkiers for 820 fl. (or 1820 fl. acc. to Smith); London, Noel Desenfans, 1802-1807: London, Skinner and Dyke, Desenfans sale, 18 Mar. 1802, lot 189 ('A Farrier's Shop with Horses, Cattle & Figures'. Descriptive Catalogue, no. 118: 'The other picture, it's companion ... represents one of those old buildings raised ... with pieces of brick and highway stone ... it is long, with two doors, and serves for two different families; near the first, is a farrier employed with his workmen, shoeing a beautiful white horse, upon the back of which the master, who has just alighted, has left a red cloak and valise; his dog is at his side, seeking to caress him, and behind a little page in livery, waiting with his hat in his hand. The farrier's wife is on the threshold of the door, over which is a grated window; a child is by her side, and in her arms, another still at the breast; a gentleman, whose white dog is lying near him, is waiting ... while another woman is climbing over a low wall which is between the two houses, with a basket of linen to dry. Near the other door, which is also open, and nearly in the centre of the picture, is a barrel on one side, and on the other, a man sleeping, extended on the ground; his wife is seated near him, and holding a child upon her knees. On the left, a road which leads into the country, from whence a shepherd is returning with a numerous flock of sheep, followed by a girl carrying a lamb, and a young man, mounted upon an ass loaded with straw. The ground is enriched with a piece of water, trunks of trees scattered here and there, and with the finest verdure'); London, Sir Francis Bourgeois, 1807-1811; Bourgeois Bequest, 1811. |
