About this work

This painting shows a grassy field with cows scattered around. A few cows are lying down, while others stand or move. In the background, a fence divides the field, and more cows graze farther away. A person sits on a low stool, facing a cow that’s lying down in front of them. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a lively, textured look. The colors are bright but natural—greens, browns, and blues stand out against the light sky. This style is part of the Impressionism, Realism movement.
