The Pool is a 1887 by Peter Moran, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows cows by a water hole. Trees and bushes surround them. The water looks calm, and the cows are drinking. One cow stands out—it’s white with dark spots. The artist used shading to make the cows and trees look real. The lines are tight, especially on the water’s surface. Next, check out Peter Moran (American, 1841–1914) for more of his work.
