This print by Richard Earlom, created in 1776, depicts a pastoral scene featuring Apollo and Mercury stealing cattle. The landscape is dominated by a large tree in the foreground, and the scene is further emphasized by a river meandering through the valley. Earlom's work is known for its detailed renderings of nature, which are evident in the intricate foliage and the realistic depiction of the cattle. The print, which is held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's mastery of the engraving technique and highlights the enduring appeal of classical mythology.
