Koeien 1880 - 1904

"Koeien" (Cows), a painting by Dutch artist Willem Maris, depicts a pastoral scene with two cows grazing in a grassy field. Maris, known for his realistic depiction of animals and landscapes, painted the work between 1880-1904. The painting's muted tones and soft brushstrokes create a tranquil atmosphere, capturing the serene beauty of rural life. The work showcases Maris' mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to render the textures of grass, water, and animal fur.
