European painter (19th century) – Landscape with cattle at the ford.

101 cm x 76 cm.

Oil on canvas, without frame.

This animal painting harks back to the tradition of landscape and animal painting that developed in central and northern Europe in the second half of the 19th century. The scene depicts three cattle—one fawn, one black, and one spotted white—drinking from a shallow stream, framed by willows and shrubs. In the background lies a wide plain with grazing flocks and a distant mountain range, under a cloudy sky. The rendering of the animals reveals a direct knowledge of the life model, with careful attention to the volume of their bodies and the chromatic variations in their coats. The brushstrokes are loose in the sky and vegetation, more controlled in the definition of the animal figures. The style exhibits affinities with German and Central European animal painting of the period.
