About the piece

Jan Stobbaerts masterfully captures a quiet moment of rural life in this 1914 oil painting. The composition focuses on a pair of cows navigating a 'Holle weg' (sunken road), rendered with expressive brushwork and a soft, atmospheric light that evokes the contemplative nature of the Belgian countryside.
