About this work

This painting shows a group of cattle in a field. The cattle are "Brannet" or "Brindled", a breed considered inferior. They were destroyed by the Board of Agriculture for Ireland in 1938, which is a notable fact about this painting. The artist's depiction of these cattle is interesting because it shows a type of animal that no longer exists. This painting can be compared to the work of another artist or explored further using the technique of sfumato.
