George Inness
American, 1825–1894
A Pastoral
c. 1882–85
A boy in a skiff drives cattle along a stream while a young woman in white appears on a path in the distance. This ethereal female figure, painted with thin layers of translucent color, contrasts with the everyday reality of the cowherd and his livestock.
