This pen-and-ink drawing, "Hilly Landscape with Cows and Shepherds in Foreground," by Carlo Antonio Tavella (1668-1738) depicts a pastoral scene with a group of cows and shepherds in the foreground. Tavella, known for his landscape drawings, captures the idyllic atmosphere of a countryside setting. The foreground features a detailed depiction of the cows, while the background shows a distant hilly landscape with a village in the distance. The drawing is held at the Art Institute of Chicago and is a fine example of Tavella's skill in representing the natural world.
