Depicting a landscape centred with a stout three-rail fence, sheep to the left, cattle and a farm labourer to the right, original frame, glazed.
Robert Hills was an English artist and etcher who primarily painted rural scenes and farm animals. He often focused on a foreshortened or rear view of his subjects and the livestock in this felt picture exhibit characteristic naturalistic postures. For a comparison (in particular the brown cow in this image) see a sketch of cattle by Robert Hills in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, accession number 1988.20.18.
