About the piece
Painted around 1660 by Dutch Golden Age master Adriaen van de Velde, this intimate pastoral scene captures a moment of quiet rural life. The composition features a rich, earthy palette and a masterful play of light across the cow's hide, typical of the artist’s celebrated animal studies and landscapes.
