Roan Shorthorn Cow 

"Roan Shorthorn Cow" is a painting by James Ward, an English painter known for his animal and landscape artwork. Ward, born in 1769 and who passed away in 1859, depicts the cow with meticulous detail and a focus on its roan, or reddish brown and white, coat pattern. The cow is rendered standing against a simple background that emphasizes its form, reminiscent of 19th century animal portraits. The painting provides insight into Ward's interest in animal anatomy and his ability to capture the beauty and grace of the natural world.
