About the piece

This 1843 oil study by Danish Golden Age painter Johan Lundbye captures a young red heifer in a moment of quiet focus. Known for his sensitive depictions of the Danish landscape and its livestock, Lundbye employs warm, earthy tones and confident brushwork to bring a sense of rustic dignity to this simple pastoral scene.
