Three Goats at the River

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a rural scene with a log cabin among rocks and vegetation. The horizon is high in the frame, emphasizing the sky with clouds sketched in fine lines. The image is monochromatic using gray and off-white shades. A river runs along the bottom, with grazing farm animals. Trees border the horizon, with a tall conifer.
