This drawing, titled "Vee onder bomen bij een boerderij" (Cattle under trees near a farm), was created by Dutch artist Jan (I) Kobell between 1766 and 1833. The piece, drawn in a realistic style, depicts a peaceful pastoral scene with cattle resting under trees near a farmhouse. The composition, characterized by its horizontal format and a sense of depth, creates a serene and contemplative mood.
