About the piece
This 1874 oil study by Anton Mauve captures a quiet moment of a cow resting in a field. As a leading figure of the Hague School and a significant influence on Vincent van Gogh, Mauve is celebrated for his masterful handling of light and atmosphere, seen here in the gentle highlights on the animal's coat and the rich, textured background of the panel.
