Sunlit clouds skimming across the sky dominate this tranquil landscape, a classic example of the luminous style that made Cuyp a favoured artist among eighteenth- and nineteenth-century collectors. Based on studies made in nature, the painting is nevertheless a studio production. Resting cattle and agricultural labourers appear as timeless parts of the landscape in a reassuring vision for the landowners able to display such a monumental scene.
