About the piece

Created around 1895 by Willem Maris, this oil painting captures the quiet atmosphere of the Dutch countryside. Using the loose, expressive brushwork characteristic of the Hague School, Maris depicts a white cow grazing by a ditch, balancing the cool tones of the sky with the deep, warm shadows of the foliage.
