About the piece
Painted in 1888 by Richard Roland Holst, this oil on canvas study captures the quiet gravity of the Dutch countryside. The central figure of a reclining cow is brought to life with thick, confident brushwork and a moody palette, set against the iconic silhouette of a windmill on a low horizon.
