Landscape with Cattle and Figures is a 1700 oil by Cornelis Huysmans, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Scottish National Gallery.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with cattle and figures. In the foreground, a group of cows are gathered near a body of water, surrounded by lush greenery. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a blue sky with white clouds. A quiet detail in the painting is the way the light filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. This subtle effect adds depth and texture to the scene.
