About the piece

Painted in 1857 by Rudolf Koller, this work exemplifies the Swiss artist's skill in animal portraiture. The scene features a brown cow prominently positioned within a field of cabbages, with sunlight highlighting the texture of its coat and the deep greens of the vegetation. The dark, atmospheric background adds a sense of depth and focus to the central subject.
