Landscape with Cattle and Herdsmen Seated on a Log is a 1668 oil by Jan Wijnants, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with cattle and herdsmen in the foreground. The scene is set in a rolling countryside with hills and trees in the distance. In the foreground, a group of cattle are grazing near a log, where two herdsmen are seated. The sky above is filled with large, puffy clouds. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The warm tones of the landscape and the cool tones of the sky contrast nicely, adding to the overall visual interest of the piece.
