Milking Time is a 1850 watercolor by Willem Maris, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three cows resting in a grassy field. One cow is lying down while another stands nearby, and a third is partially hidden behind a bush. The background is soft and blurry, with trees and a faint sky. The artist used light, loose brushstrokes to keep the scene simple and peaceful. The colors are mostly earthy—greens, browns, and whites—with no sharp lines. Next, look up Willem Maris to see more of his calm countryside scenes.
