About the piece

Painted around 1650 by Aelbert Cuyp, this masterful landscape captures the tranquil atmosphere of the Dutch countryside. The composition balances a group of resting cattle and a milkmaid in the foreground against a towering sky filled with soft, golden light, while the Great Church of Dordrecht is visible on the distant horizon across the river Maas.
