About the piece
Painted around 1860 by Constant Troyon, a leading figure of the Barbizon school, this work captures the dignity and strength of rural life with monumental presence. The dramatic interplay of light across the oxen's hides and the looming storm clouds highlights Troyon's mastery of animalier subjects and landscape atmosphere.
