LANDSCAPE WITH HORSEMEN, AND HERDS- MEN DRIVING THEIR SHEEP AND CATTLE HOME. Sm. Suppl. ii. In the left foreground of a hilly landscape two cavaliers come riding down a broad road, which curves away behind them and passes a ruined castle on a hill in the middle distance.

The picture is of the transition period between Cuyp's early and later styles. [Compare 412.] Signed, in the left-hand bottom corner, A. cuijp j panel, 26^ inches by 36 inches.
