About the piece

Created in 1796 by Gainsborough Dupont, this wooded landscape exemplifies the English pastoral tradition inherited from his uncle, Thomas Gainsborough. The composition centers on a majestic, weathered tree that anchors the scene, sheltering a solitary herdsman and his cattle against a soft, atmospheric sky.
