Herdsmen Driving Cattle through a Ford is a 1670 oil by Johann Heinrich Roos, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Oxen, held at Städel Museum.
This painting shows a scene with a herd of cattle and a man on horseback. The cattle are mostly white, with one brown ox in the front. The man is wearing a hat and a long coat, and he's holding a stick. In the background, there's a body of water with a rocky shore and some trees. The sky is cloudy. The painting has a lot of detail, especially in the animals. You can see the texture of their fur and the way they're moving. The man on horseback is also well-drawn, with a sense of movement and energy. The background is more subtle, but it adds depth to the scene.
