An emblematic frog is seen on the surface of the water, a sinister 7 augury for the fated rustics soon to be metamorphosed into others of # the frog tribe at the behest of the goddess. In the pleasant lightly wooded middle distance is another group showing Latona approaching with her children and two rustics with vessels to draw water from the pool; at right, before a large winding stream, is a group of ship builders, near a small vessel supported on wooden horses and a faggot fire, its columned smoke curling high to heaven.

At the centers of the sides, Diana with bow, arrow and hound again appears, standing within a floral arbor supported by a quaintly winged youthful Psyche holding z festooned fruit surmounting further fruit and two cupids seated on a # fruit-wreathed cartouche enclosing a miniature landscape; above Diana is a cupid presenting a laurel wreath to the goddess, and motives sim- ilar to those below are repeated above the cupid.

A market woman with a basket of fruit is debarking from a small boat that a rustic holds to the shore; ducks are swim- ming in the stream.

An ancestral building, with a temporary roof of thatch rapidly falling into decay, stands at left and is overtopped with fine old trees. Nearby is a road- way winding under a large spreading oak, with a group of rustics and sheep; amid the group a red-coated shepherd is seated with his black-coated dog before him begging for something he holds up in his right hand, while two children watch the dog’s tricks. A market wagon slowly advances on the road- way, which passes a distant cottage and is lost in the woodland. (c) The Farmyard. A low rambling thatched-roof farmhouse is in the center behind a paled fence and an uneven roadway rising to a large spreading oak tree at left that casts the foreground into deep shadow. At the half-gated door, in a glint of sun- light, the farmer’s wife appears in conversation with a herdsman who is about to drive cattle to pasturage. The cottage is embowered with trees and toward right a glimpse of a wheat field and a few standing sheaves are seen. (») The Wagoner. A country wagoner is emerging with his quaint hooded cart from a stable, the lower floor of an ancient thatched outhouse; a wooden staircase, occupied by a red-coated rustic carrying a basket on his back ascending to a dwelling above, where a woman watches the wagoner. Two spreading oaks embower the build- ing, which is attached in the rear to the ruins of an ancient Gothic abbey. A eourtyard, enclosed by a dilapidated fence, guards a road crossing from left to behind the trees; on it a mounted packman slowly wends his way.

About center is a pedestaled statue of the goddess canopied by trees; before it are dancing nymphs and vari- ~ ous personages paying homage. At right is an Arcadian shepherd with his lute and a flock of sheep. Cupids, further personages, trees and an arched terrace enliven the balance of the composition.
