Landscape with a Spinner and Cattle is a 1682 oil by Dirck van der Bergen, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
In the painting, a woman sits on the ground, surrounded by cattle and other animals. She appears to be spinning, with a spindle in her hand. The scene is set in a rural landscape, with trees and hills visible in the background. The woman is dressed in a long skirt and a white blouse, and she has a basket next to her. The cattle are brown and white, and they seem to be grazing peacefully. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and simplicity. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
Dirck van der Bergen (1645–1700) was an artist, born in Haarlem.
