Cattle with herdsmen in the Vienna forest
The painting shows a forest landscape with herdsmen and a herd of cows. Two shepherds are sitting in the green grass along a sandy, unpaved path. Behind them are cows grazing in the thicket and goats on a small hill at the right edge of the painting. At the lower right edge of the picture felled trees are depicted. Through the trees a gently rising mountain landscape can be seen in the background. A blue, slightly cloudy sky extends over the forest landscape.
The work is signed and dated "Jos. Feid 1838" at the lower right.
