River Scene, with Cattle is a 1858 by Cooper, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a person herding four cows through shallow water. The sky is pale and cloudy, and the grassy banks look wet. The cows are brown and white, walking in a line. The person sits on one cow, holding a long stick. The brushstrokes are loose, almost like quick notes. This style was common in a specific art movement.
