European painter (19th century) - Landscape with Cattle at the Ford.

101 x 76 cm.

Oil on canvas, unframed.

An animal painting in the tradition of landscape and animal art that flourished in northern and central Europe during the second half of the nineteenth century. The scene depicts three cattle — a tawny, a black, and a white pied specimen — watering at a shallow stream bordered by willows and dense vegetation. The background opens onto a wide plain with grazing flocks and a distant mountain range beneath a cloudy sky. The handling of the animals shows direct observation from life, with careful attention to the volumetric rendering of the bodies and the variations in coat colour. The brushwork is looser in the sky and foliage, more controlled in the animal figures. The style shows affinities with the German and central European animalist tradition of the period.
