runs parallel with the railway cutting. pause at the top of
a steep railway cutting; below, to right of composition,
several figures leading horses with carts walk along the
tracks which have been laid. To either side of the cutting
lie hilly fields, a small farmhouse standing to extreme

through the cutting.
