Landscape

Adolphe Braun

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing in the center, flanked by two cows. The man wears a hat, white shirt, dark vest, and pants. He has a mustache and is looking down, shadowed by his hat. He holds a stick or lead in his right hand, connected to the cow on the left. On the right, a young boy holds the lead of the other cow. The boy wears a flat cap, jacket, and pants and stands behind the cow. The background is a blurred outdoor landscape with leafless trees, suggesting a rural setting. The ground is grassy, extending into the distance.
