A landscape on the banks of the Manzanares River with the skyline of Madrid in the background. Some of the city´s most significant buildings can be identified, including the dome of San Francisco el Grande. A man with a group of cows is visible in the foreground. The palette of dark earth tones and the type of brushstrokes show how Beruete was influenced —especially here— by his teacher, Carlos de Haes, and the Plein Air painting cultivated by French artists. This work was acquired from the artist by the state in 1879 for the Prado Museum. After a period in the now-defunct Museum of Modern Art, it returned to the Prado Museum in 1971.
