About this work

This painting shows a shorthorn cow and a man in a fancy coat and hat. The man is standing to the left of the cow, and he's wearing a frock coat and top hat, which was a typical outfit for a gentleman at that time. This detail suggests the painting was made for someone who wanted to show off their wealth and status. You can learn more about this style of painting at the Museum of Ethnography.
