Cattle Market is a 1767 chalk by Jacobus Buys, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a bustling cattle market scene. In the foreground, several cows are gathered, while people in old-fashioned clothing stand around them. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a house or barn. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the cattle and the people's attire. The artist's use of chalk manner and roulette printing in black ink on laid paper adds a unique texture to the piece.
