About the piece
Painted by David Cox Jr. in 1885, this landscape depicts a classic rural scene of cattle being herded along a rugged path. The composition is anchored by mature, wind-swept trees and a low stone wall, which lead the viewer's eye across the coastal plain toward the historic Harlech Castle perched on a distant cliff. The work reflects the late 19th-century interest in the picturesque beauty and historic character of the British landscape.
