Cattle in the Auvergne

Französische Grafik 1855–1870, 1867

The image shows a group of cattle on rugged terrain, with a view looking downward from a small elevation. In the background, there are dark hills or mountains, sparse trees, and dramatic clouds in the sky.

The color palette is mainly earthy browns and ochres, creating a sepia-toned look that emphasizes the natural elements and the animals against the sky.
