About the piece

Created in 1897 by Willem Maris, this oil on canvas painting is a beautiful example of the Hague School's interest in light and atmosphere. The work depicts cattle in a Dutch meadow, rendered with loose, impressionistic brushwork that emphasizes the hazy, humid quality of a warm summer day in the countryside.
