Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA, British 1802-1873- Cattle by a stream; pen and brown ink on paper, signed with the artist's monogram (lower right), with inscription on the lower mount, 18.2 x 22.7 cm. Note: Landseer's reputation as an animal artist was unrivalled in Victorian Britain. The present work is a charming representation of cattle grazing and watering in a bucolic countryside setting, and the artist's fluid brushstrokes lend an effective immediacy to the work.
