"Cattle by the River" is a 19th-century landscape painting by the American artist Alfred Thompson Bricher (1837–1908), who was associated with the second generation of the Hudson River School. Bricher was known for his meticulous and serene landscapes, often featuring coastal scenes and pastoral settings. "Cattle by the River" exemplifies Bricher's attention to the interplay of light and atmosphere, as well as his ability to capture the tranquility of rural America during the period.

The painting depicts a serene pastoral scene with cattle grazing near a river, likely inspired by the Northeastern United States, where Bricher spent much of his time painting en plein air. The composition is characterized by a harmonious blend of land, water, and sky, with the artist's use of naturalistic colors and detailed brushwork contributing to the overall sense of calm and idyllic rural life. The river, reflecting the sky above, leads the viewer's eye into the depth of the landscape, while the cattle provide a focal point and a sense of scale.

As a work of the Hudson River School, "Cattle by the River" reflects the movement's themes of nature's majesty and beauty, as well as the transcendentalist belief in the spiritual value of the natural world. Bricher's paintings are often noted for their precise detail and adherence to the effects of light on the landscape, which can be seen in the subtle gradations of color and tone in this work.

"Cattle by the River" is representative of Bricher's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of American landscape painting in the late 19th century. While Bricher's work was overshadowed by some of his contemporaries during his lifetime, his paintings have since gained recognition for their technical skill and their embodiment of the Hudson River School's aesthetic principles. The painting is part of Bricher's legacy as one of the last major figures of the Hudson River School, and it continues to be appreciated for its peaceful depiction of the American landscape.
