Liber Veritatis: No. 7, An Island Scene of a Mountainous Country with Cattle is a 1774 by Richard Earlom, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet countryside with rolling hills and a winding path. A few cows graze near a rocky outcrop, while a lone figure walks in the distance. On the left, a small temple sits on a hill, and a big tree with sprawling branches leans over the right side. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to suggest light and shadow, giving the scene a soft, dreamy feel. The hills and trees look simple but full of life.
