Stumping the Cow is a 1904 oil by Henry Herbert La Thangue, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This painting depicts a young boy in a white shirt and brown overalls, standing in a grassy area beside a large tree. He is holding an axe above his head, preparing to strike. A cow is grazing in the background, partially obscured by the tree. The scene is set in a serene outdoor environment, with lush greenery and a sense of tranquility. The boy's actions suggest a task or chore, while the cow's presence adds a sense of rural life. The painting's use of warm colors and soft brushstrokes creates a sense of warmth and coziness.
