This print shows a quiet countryside scene with a river winding through it. Cows graze near the water while a few people stand or sit by the bank. Trees frame the scene, and in the distance, a small village and ruins sit on a hillside. The print was made from an original drawing owned by the Duke of Devonshire, suggesting it was meant to look like a real place. The artist used shading to make the scene feel three-dimensional. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
