plate opposite vol.2 p.261
caption from the list of plates:-
These two prints [one shown] illustrate the doctrine of
grouping smaller animals, as sheep, goats, and deer.
...
If they be removed to a middle distance, as
represneted in the other of these prints, the subordinate
group is of less consequence; and still of less, the farther
it recedes from the eye. The whole is only considered as one
body, blended, as it were, and shadowed, or inlightened,
with the ground: and it is enough, if regular, and
disagreeable shapes are avoided.
... a last word on sheep.
