Valley of the Tocques is a 1855 oil by Constant Troyon, a Realism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
In the painting, a serene landscape unfolds with a large white cow and a smaller calf in the foreground. The cow faces right, while the calf stands to its left, both set against a backdrop of trees and a blue sky dotted with clouds. In the distance, more cows are visible, adding depth to the scene. A figure in a hat sits on a log to the right, blending into the natural surroundings. The overall atmosphere is one of peacefulness, with the animals and the person coexisting in harmony. This tranquil scene invites contemplation, much like the works of Constant Troyon.
Constant Troyon (French pronunciation: ; August 28, 1810 – February 21, 1865) was a French painter of the Barbizon school.
