The Herd Returning in Stormy Weather

Claude Lorrain

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Herd Returning in Stormy Weather by Claude Lorrain: A black and white landscape drawing shows a herd of cattle being led by a herder through a rocky area, with a large stone structure on the left and a castle on a hill in the background. The sky is cloudy and stormy with rain falling. In the foreground, there are trees, bushes, and rocks. The herder is holding a long stick and walking among the cattle. The cattle are various shades of black and white. The drawing is detailed and intricate, with many lines and textures. The overall atmosphere is one of a stormy day in a rural or countryside setting.
