"A Herder Watering Cattle by a Riverside Cottage" is a 19th-century landscape painting by the English artist Henry John Boddington (1811–1865). Known for his pastoral and picturesque scenes that capture the essence of the English countryside, Boddington was a prolific artist whose works were characterized by their detailed naturalism and serene atmospheres. This particular painting depicts a tranquil rural scene where a herder is seen tending to cattle by the water's edge, near a quaint cottage that is nestled among lush greenery. The composition likely reflects Boddington's affinity for the Thames Valley and the Surrey countryside, areas that frequently inspired his work.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Boddington to achieve rich textures and a nuanced interplay of light and shadow. His use of color and careful brushwork contribute to the overall calm and bucolic mood of the scene. "A Herder Watering Cattle by a Riverside Cottage" exemplifies the idyllic and romanticized view of rural England that was popular among the Victorian middle class, and which Boddington and his contemporaries, such as members of the Williams family of painters, of which he was an associate, often sought to capture in their art.

Henry John Boddington was the son of the artist Edward Williams and changed his surname to distinguish himself within the competitive art world. He became a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and exhibited his works at prestigious venues such as the Royal Academy and the British Institution. "A Herder Watering Cattle by a Riverside Cottage" is representative of Boddington's mature style and contributes to our understanding of the 19th-century English landscape tradition. The painting would be of interest to scholars studying the period's art, collectors of Victorian landscapes, and the general public who appreciate the charm of England's rural heritage.
