A Landscape with a Herd of Cows and Goats, Surmounted by Another Landscape, Upside-down, with a Man Pushing a Wheelbarrow

Adrian Zingg

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with rolling hills and foliage. The view is slightly above eye level, giving a downward slope effect. The horizon is high in the composition, creating depth. The brushstrokes are delicate, especially in the trees and leaves. The color palette is sepia. In the foreground, there are cattle and sheep being herded by a figure on a path. A large tree with leafy branches frames the scene.
