Landscape with Cattle (Somerset?)

James Bulwer

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape with a viewpoint from an elevated position overlooking a rolling countryside towards the horizon. The horizon is in the upper third of the image, where the grassy hills meet the sea and sky. A distant lighthouse, trees, and small structures can be seen. The painting features delicate watercolor brushstrokes blending colors like browns, greens, and golden tones. The sky is predominantly blue and gray with sunlight breaking through clouds. In the foreground, there are cows grazing and a fieldworker near them.
