Peisaj cu vite ; pandant: Mică turmă în peisaj păduros is a 1850 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
A cow with a white face and brown body stands in a grassy field, grazing near a small stream. Two calves lie in the background, resting on the ground. The scene is surrounded by trees and a dark, cloudy sky, with a small building peeking through the foliage. The artist uses shadowy tones to give the scene depth, making the cow stand out against the dimmer background. This kind of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*—a technique that plays with light and dark to create drama. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how other artists used it to make ordinary scenes feel alive.
