This painting shows cows standing in a marshy area, with one white cow in the foreground and several brown cows behind it. The cows are surrounded by tall grasses and trees, and the sky above is cloudy. The artist has used warm colors to depict the scene, with shades of green and brown dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Ireland, and it's worth exploring more works by Emile van Marcke.
