TWO COWS WITH A SHEPHERD AND SHEPHERDESS. Sm. 280. In the right foreground, on the slope of a wooded hill, a large brown cow lies in profile to the left. To the right, behind her, a black and white cow stands with her head to the spectator. Almost in the centre of the middle distance lies the shepherd ; he wears a broad-brimmed hat and leans his head on his right arm, as he looks out of the picture. Near him to the left, but farther back, stands a young shepherdess, facing the spectator ; she holds a staff in her left hand and points with outstretched right hand towards the left. Here the view extends over a river landscape glittering in the delicate morning light. In the left foreground are bushes and leafy plants. In the distance are a few sheep. Signed, A.
