Cows in a Field is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a quiet field with three cows. One stands in the foreground, facing the camera with a calm look. The other two rest under a tree in the background, one lying down and the other sitting. A small figure walks near a fence on the right, and a distant town sits across the flat landscape. The lighting is soft, with shadows under the cows and tree, making the scene feel peaceful. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, with a slightly faded quality. If you like this kind of scene, check out chiaroscuro.
