A carefully-posed group of horses, cattle and a sleeping dog occupy a river landscape. A passing peasant talks with the herdsman. Calraet’s animal scenes, often with subtle evening effects, are closely based on the work of Aelbert Cuyp (1620 - 1691). Not surprisingly, this work was once wrongly attributed to Cuyp. Both came from Utrecht and they shared the same initials - ‘A. C.’ (visible here in the right hand corner).
