"Wooded Landscape with a Herdsman Driving Cattle towards a Pool" is a painting by Thomas Gainsborough, a prominent 18th-century British artist known for his landscape and portrait paintings. This work exemplifies Gainsborough's skill in depicting pastoral scenes, a genre for which he held a deep personal affection despite his contemporary fame as a portraitist. The painting is characteristic of Gainsborough's mature period, where he achieved a harmonious balance between the representation of natural elements and the pastoral activities of rural life.

The composition of "Wooded Landscape with a Herdsman Driving Cattle towards a Pool" features a herdsman, often a symbol of the pastoral idyll, guiding his cattle through a densely wooded landscape towards a reflective pool of water. The scene is imbued with a sense of tranquility and the lushness of the English countryside, rendered through Gainsborough's deft use of light and shadow, which gives depth and realism to the foliage and the figures within the landscape.

Gainsborough's landscapes are noted for their influence from Dutch 17th-century painting as well as from his contemporaries, such as the French painter Claude Lorrain, whose classical landscapes were admired for their idealized beauty. In this work, Gainsborough combines these influences with his own observational acuity, creating a scene that is both idealized and rooted in the observable world.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Gainsborough the fluidity to create the soft, feathery brushstrokes that became a hallmark of his landscape works. The exact date of the painting's creation is not universally agreed upon by scholars, but it is generally placed in the latter half of the 18th century, during a period when Gainsborough was actively experimenting with landscape compositions.

"Wooded Landscape with a Herdsman Driving Cattle towards a Pool" is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Gainsborough's contribution to the development of the landscape genre in British art. The painting is part of a larger body of work that reflects the artist's lifelong fascination with nature and his ability to convey the serene beauty of the English countryside to his viewers. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Thomas Gainsborough and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
