This painting shows a quiet farm scene with cows resting near a small, thatched-roof hut. A light-colored cow stands in the foreground, while others lie down in the shade. The hut looks simple, with a tree growing close to its roof. The background has more trees and a soft, hazy sky. Notice how the artist used shadows and light to give the cows a three-dimensional look. The play of dark and light makes the animals feel real and solid. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
