Slaughter shed is a 1886 oil by Jan Stobbaerts, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
The painting shows a dimly lit room with two cows standing in the center. The cow on the left is white with brown spots, while the one on the right is reddish-brown. They are positioned in front of a window that lets in some light, illuminating the scene. In the background, there appears to be a wall or a structure, but it's not clearly defined due to the dark lighting. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and quiet, with the cows being the main focus. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the cows.
Jan Stobbaerts or Jan-Baptist Stobbaerts (18 March 1838 – 25 November 1914) was a Belgian painter and printmaker.
