European painter (19th century) - Landscape with cattle and flock at sunset.
101 x 76 cm.
Oil on canvas, unframed.
The scene depicts a mixed group of animals — two adult cattle and a calf in the foreground, accompanied by a dense flock of sheep led by a shepherd — in an open landscape at dusk. Dark trees silhouetted against the light on the left frame the composition, while the rosy sunset sky illuminates the plain in the background. The cattle, rendered with anatomical and chromatic accuracy, move towards the foreground naturally. The brushwork is loose and vigorous, particularly in the sky and foreground ground. The style shows affinities with German and Central European animal painting of the period.
