Sheep and Cows

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing on aged paper with rough edges. A thin black line borders the drawing. The scene depicts a pastoral landscape. On the left, a group of cattle and sheep are gathered. A large cow lies on the ground with its head raised. A smaller cow stands on the back of another cow. Several sheep surround them. On the right, a man stands next to a horse, holding a long stick. A figure is partially obscured behind the horse. A distant rocky cliffside and a few birds in flight are visible in the background. The artist's signature appears in the bottom-left corner.
