Oxen in the Meadow is a 1806 unspecified by Jan Kobell, a Biedermeier work, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see two oxen standing in a grassy field beside a wooden fence. A puddle sits in the foreground, and more cattle graze in the distance under a pale sky. No one knows who painted this, but it feels like a quiet moment caught by someone who worked the land. The brushstrokes are loose, almost like the artist didn’t overthink it—just painted what they saw. If you like this kind of simple, everyday scene, spend time in the Rijksmuseum’s online collection. They have more like it.
