A charming pastoral landscape depicting a herd of cattle drinking from a still river, with several cows standing in the shallows whilst others graze along the grassy bank. The composition is balanced by mature trees flanking both sides of the water's edge, rendered in a soft artistic style that evokes the gentle pace of the English countryside. Presented in a delicate gilt-effect frame. Signed 'E. J. Duval' to the lower right and dated 1879. Labelled verso. On paper.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration to the watercolour and light wear to the frame.
