Drawing by Vischer depicting a Spanish ranch scene in Marin County, ten miles north of San Rafael, ca.1860

Photograph of a drawing by Vischer depicting a Spanish ranch scene in Marin County, ten miles north of San Rafael, ca.1860. A two story ranch house with a covered porch is visible on a hill on the right side of the picture, overlooking a cattle drive below. There are three very organized rows of cattle being hereded by a group of mounted vaqueros, all wearing broad-brimmed hats. On the left side of the picture, several cows are resting in the shade of a large tree. There are hills in the background, populated by tall pine trees. At the center of the picture behind the cattle drive is a barn attached to a corral, and in the corral, a mounted cowboy is trying to rope a loose horse.

这幅藏品为维舍尔（Vischer）所绘素描的摄影作品，描绘了约1860年时位于圣拉斐尔以北10英里处马林县内的西班牙式牧场场景。画面右侧的山坡上坐落着一栋带有遮蔽门廊的两层牧场主宅，其视野可俯瞰下方的赶牛活动。画面中共有三列排列规整的牛群，由一群骑乘马背的牧牛工（vaqueros）驱赶，众人皆头戴宽檐帽。画面左侧，几头奶牛正休憩于一棵大树的树荫之下。背景中的山丘遍布高大的松树。赶牛活动后方的画面中央，有一座与畜栏相连的谷仓；畜栏内，一名骑乘马背的牛仔正试图套住一匹脱缰的马匹。
