About the piece
Painted around 1850 by Jules Dupré, a leading figure of the Barbizon school, this work captures the moody essence of the French countryside. The composition balances the heavy, textured foliage of central trees with a luminous, cloud-swept sky, while cattle drinking at the water's edge provide a peaceful sense of rural life.
