Mountainous landscape with cattle at a watering hole, Cimaroli, Giovanni Battista fl. ca. 1726–post 1753, painter; oil painting, 17th/18th century; landscape with cattle and staffage; height 29 cm, width 45.7 cm., A landscape painting showing a serene river scene with a group of large trees on the right, their trunks twisted and bark in shades of brown and dark gray with foliage in green and olive tones; a few branches extend across the sky. In the middle ground a small grassy bank in muted green and brown hosts a person standing beside two brown cows, while a light-colored cow stands at the water’s edge. A stone bridge arches over the river toward the left, beyond which distant wooded hills fade into soft blue-gray and green hues. The water reflects dark green and gray tones, and the sky above is pale with washed blues, grays, and hints of warm cream. The whole image is bordered by a dark wooden frame.
