Artist, Italian, 1723 - 1783

The image shows a cow, a goat, and a sheep in a pastoral setting. Three animals are resting in an open landscape. A cow stands behind a goat and sheep. The goat lies in the foreground next to the sheep. The surroundings are hinted at with light sketching indicating a natural, grassy landscape with a few shrubs in the background. The drawing style uses detailed line work to create texture and depth in portraying the animals and the scenery.
