Three Goats at the River

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape seen from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon line is positioned about one-third from the top of the image, with clouds in the sky. A cabin made of logs sits beyond a small body of water, surrounded by rocks and foliage. The etching is detailed with fine lines depicting clouds, trees, and rock textures. The color scheme is black on a beige background. The scene conveys a serene environment with trees and a tall pine tree on the right. More trees frame the house in the distance.
