About the piece

Painted in 1895, this tempera work by Paul Sérusier exemplifies the decorative and symbolic style of Les Nabis. The composition features simplified forms and a flattened perspective, characteristic of the movement's move away from Impressionism toward modernism. The contrast between the grounded white cow and the airy white blossoms creates a serene and timeless pastoral vision.
