This painting shows two cows in a grassy field. One cow sits resting in the foreground, while the other stands nearby. Trees and a small building appear in the background, with a soft sky above. The scene looks calm, with light and shadow playing across the landscape. The artist used brushstrokes to create texture in the grass and clouds. Next, check out Romanticism to see how this painting fits into that movement.
