"A Herdsman and Cattle with a Milkmaid in a River Landscape" is an 18th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Jan van Gool (1685–1763). Known for his pastoral scenes that often depict the tranquil life of the countryside, van Gool's work is characterized by its attention to the naturalistic details of rural life and landscape. This particular painting captures a serene moment in the daily life of a herdsman and a milkmaid, set against the backdrop of a river landscape that reflects the idyllic and harmonious relationship between humans and nature during the Dutch Golden Age of painting.

The composition of the painting is carefully balanced, with livestock and figures positioned to guide the viewer's eye through the canvas. The herdsman is typically shown watching over the cattle, which are rendered with a sense of individual character and realism, while the milkmaid is engaged in her task, adding a sense of narrative and activity to the scene. The river landscape in the background is depicted with a keen sense of atmospheric perspective, showcasing van Gool's skill in rendering the effects of light and weather on the natural environment.
