Though bearing Cuyp's signature and resembling his work, this painting does not seem of adequate quality to be attributed to this master. Left foreground a herdsman with three cows and sheep, dense trees behind them; to the right are a ram and sheep, beyond a river and a view of Dordrecht on the far bank; boats are moored to its left; three cows are milked by woman in foreground.
Signed lower left: 'A cuyp'Provenance
Acquired by George IV in 1811; recorded in store at Carlton House in 1816 (no 405); in the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace in 1841 (no 58)
