French school from the first half of the 19th century, important pastoral scene in the style of Berchem. It represents a landscape animated by numerous pieces of livestock: cows with pointed horns, sheep, donkey, amusing goat with a snarling look in the center of the composition, this improvised herd preparing to cross a ford under the leadership of two peasant women. These compositions are typical of the genre of the Dutch painter Berchem, here taken up by a French painter.
