Landscape with river and cattle

About this work

This drawing shows a landscape with a river running through it. There are trees and bushes along the riverbank, and some cattle grazing in the distance. The sky is cloudy and grey. The artist has used a range of tones to create depth and texture in the drawing. The cattle are depicted in a loose, sketchy style, while the trees and bushes are more detailed. The drawing is characteristic of the Impressionist and Realist movements, which emphasized everyday life and the natural world. To learn more about this style, look up the Impressionism movement.
