LANDSCAPE WITH WATERFALL AND COWS
Oil on canvas. Doubled.
58 x 73 cm.

On the bank of a river two shepherds with their two horses and a herd of cows and cattle have stopped, a white-brown dog accompanies them. In the middle a stone flat bridge, over which some figures are crossing. To the left the view falls on the waterfall rushing into the valley and on the city standing on the mountain with an ancient temple. This could be the round temple of Vesta and thus also the waterfalls in Tivoli. The mountain continues to the right and is overgrown with numerous trees and bushes. In the background the view falls on a blue-white mountain range, under a high sunny sky with thick cloud formations. (12221613) (18)
