Español: El transbordador de ganado

Português: A balsa do gado

Uma pintura de paisagem pastoril mostra uma mulher em um cavalo cinza e outras figuras conduzindo gado, cabras e ovelhas através de um rio raso em direção a uma margem rochosa. Um pequeno barco, uma torre e colinas enevoadas se afastam sob um céu de nuvens suaves.
