This painting shows a single cow standing still, facing left. Its fur is mostly white with some brown patches, and its horns curve upward. The background is dark and blurry, making the cow stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the cow’s fur texture. The artist didn’t smooth out the paint—it looks almost rough in spots. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Romanian painter Nicolae Grigorescu made quiet, honest scenes of everyday life and country roads around 1900.
