About this work

This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with cows and sheep grazing on a grassy hillside. A few trees and bushes dot the background, and the sky is soft and pale. One person in dark clothes stands near the left edge, watching the animals. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, especially on the cows, giving them a textured look. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Look up impasto next to see how artists use it to add depth to their work.
