About this work

This painting shows four cows standing in shallow water. The foreground cow has a patchy brown and white coat, while the others behind it are mostly gray. The background is a light, misty wash with faint hills in the distance. The artist used loose, sketchy strokes to suggest movement and mood. The water’s surface has quick, blurred lines to mimic ripples. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
