Cattle Watering by an Estuary 

Aelbert Cuyp's "Cattle Watering by an Estuary" is a classic example of Dutch Golden Age landscape painting. It depicts a pastoral scene with cows drinking from a shallow estuary, with a small boat sailing in the distance. The painting features Cuyp's signature use of soft, luminous light and rich, warm colors, which create a sense of peace and serenity. The sky is the dominant feature, with a soft, almost hazy atmosphere. The cattle and the distant boat, both drawn with meticulous detail, are secondary features in this stunning landscape painting.
