Cattle Fording a Stream is a 1690 ink by Robert Robinson, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a group of cows and sheep crossing a shallow stream in a wooded area. A woman in a long dress stands near the water, holding a stick, while a man on horseback watches from the bank. Trees and rocky hills fill the background, and the scene looks like a quiet countryside moment. The artist used shading to make the animals and figures look solid and real. The dark lines and soft shadows give depth to the scene. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this technique works.
Robert Robinson (1886–1952) was an artist, born in Wilkes-Barre.
