Cattle Resting

Robert Hills

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two resting cattle in a rural landscape. A split wooden fence crosses the scene, with trees and foliage blocking the view of the horizon. The style is detailed with intricate line work, using black ink on cream paper to emphasize textures and shading. The cattle are on grassy ground, surrounded by trees and bushes in the background.
