Cows grazing, Salisbury is a 13 watercolor by John Constable, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows two cows grazing near a small pond. Tall trees with bare branches lean over the water, and the ground looks damp. In the distance, a few people and a horse are barely visible near some bushes. The artist used quick, loose strokes to capture light and movement—no hard lines, just soft shapes. The focus is on the cows and the quiet pond, not details. Look up Constable, John (RA) next to see how he painted nature differently.
