Description: | Such placid scenes with animals and peasants set in an idyllic landscape were common in Dutch art. Cattle rest under a cluster of tall trees in the left foreground. A bucket, a jug and a plate are arranged on the pier close to the picture plane to the right. In the centre, a couple sit on the ground. Four cows stand in the shallow water in the middle distance. In the background, a complex of ruins bathed in a warm Italianate light is silhouetted against the sky. The scene recalls work by Paul Potter and may be attributed to a follower. | Subjects: | animal (cattle); figure (peasants) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dutch School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8578... | Go to resource |
