Cattle in a Landscape 1736 - 1804

"Cattle in a Landscape" is a brown ink drawing by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo from 1736 to 1804. The drawing depicts a group of cattle resting in a landscape with a rocky cliff and a pine tree in the background. Tiepolo was known for his masterful use of line and his ability to capture the movement and form of his subjects. The drawing is a fine example of his skill in representing animals in a natural setting. This small drawing is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection in New York, NY.
