About this work

You see cows, goats, and sheep grazing behind a farmhouse, with a big red barn on the right. Nobody knows who painted it, but the brushwork is loose and quick—almost like the artist was in a hurry to catch the light before sunset. The animals look relaxed, not posed, as if the painter just stepped outside and painted what he saw. If you like quiet farm scenes, spend a few minutes with the Rijksmuseum’s online collection.
