European painter (19th century) - Landscape with cattle at a ford.

European painter (19th century) - Landscape with cattle at a ford. 101 x 76 cm. Oil on canvas, unframed. An animalistic painting related to the tradition of landscape and animal painting that developed in Northern Central Europe in the second half of the 19th century. The scene depicts three cattle—a tawny specimen, a black one, and a spotted white one—drinking in a shallow watercourse, framed by willow vegetation and shrubs. In the background, a wide plain opens up with grazing flocks and a distant mountain range, under a cloudy sky. The rendering of the animals reveals direct knowledge of the model from life, with attention to the volume of the bodies and the chromatic variations of their coats. The brushwork is loose in the sky and vegetation, more controlled in the definition of the animal figures. The style shows affinities with German and Central European animal painting of the period.
