Cowboys and Herds in the Maremma is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Fattori, signed and dated 1893.

It is held in the Museo Civico Giovanni Fattori, in Livorno, which also houses two preparatory drawings for the work.

The viewers gaze calms down in the distant segment of the sea, diluted with pale blue, with a small pink sail.

There are three cowboys in the composition: the first is an old man, facing, in the foreground, with a flowing white beard; the second is seen from the back and the other one is seen riding in the distance.

They are three dark and imposing spots, above a tangle of twigs that sprout from the crushed and disorganized sands, inside a disorderly sequence of heads, horns, tails and sides of restless white cattle.
