A Study of Cattle is a 1862 watercolor by Thomas Baker, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two cows standing in a grassy field. One cow is brown and white, standing near a tree. The other cow, mostly black, is lying down in the shade. In the background, there’s a soft blue sky with a few clouds, and part of a building peeks out behind the tree. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to paint the scene, giving it a light, sketchy feel. The colors are simple—earthy greens, browns, and blues—with no harsh lines.
