Woodland Scene with Cattle

This Dartmoor scene is dominated by the trees that grow on the riverbank in a region of the moor. Also in this painting by Widgery, however, are grazing cattle. Many Devonshire farmers utilised the moorland for grazing, and Widgery is careful to represent this particular aspect of the wilderness.
