About the piece

Created around 1860, this oil painting by Théodore Rousseau is a masterclass in the Barbizon style, which emphasized naturalism and direct observation of the landscape. The work features a group of cattle scattered across a lush meadow, anchored by a prominent cluster of textured oak trees that dominate the center of the composition under a soft, cloud-filled sky.
