About the piece
Created in 1663 by the celebrated Dutch artist Adriaen van de Velde, this oil painting is a quintessential example of Golden Age pastoral art. The composition centers on a finely detailed cow bathed in a warm, atmospheric light that reflects the artist's mastery of landscape and animal studies. Distant mountains and a gentle shepherd complete this idyllic rural vision.
