About the piece
Painted in 1781 by Philip James de Loutherbourg, this work exemplifies the late 18th-century interest in the picturesque. A peasant and their cattle are bathed in the warm, diffused light of a setting sun, set against a backdrop of towering clouds that lend a sense of grandeur to the pastoral scene.
