About this work

The painting depicts a serene scene of a group of cows grazing in a lush green field, with a body of water in the background. The cows are predominantly black and white, with one brown and white cow standing out. In the distance, several boats can be seen on the water, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The cloudy sky above adds a touch of drama to the otherwise peaceful scene. This painting is held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
