Landscape with Cattle 1676

"Landscape with Cattle" is an oil painting created by Johann Heinrich Roos in 1676, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. Roos, known for his animal paintings, portrays a picturesque landscape with a variety of farm animals. The scene features a herd of cows and sheep, a rider on horseback, and a partially ruined building, indicating an abandoned settlement. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, creating a sense of realism.
