About the piece

Painted in 1874 by Dutch Hague School master Anton Mauve, this oil on panel study focuses on the form and texture of a single cow. The earthy palette and confident impasto technique emphasize the rustic reality of pastoral life, a hallmark of Mauve's influential and atmospheric style.
