Landschap in de mist met drie koeien before 1903

This is Landschap in de mist met drie koeien, a printed work by W.L. Noverre. It looks like it was made using monochrome photographic techniques. This landscape is all soft edges, gentle slopes and diffused light, and the limited palette lends a melancholic air to the scene. There’s something about the texture here, a kind of velvety graininess. It reminds me of early photography, where the image almost emerges from the paper itself. It feels like the artist wanted to capture not just the scene, but also the feeling of being enveloped by mist, the cool damp air, and the quiet solitude of the countryside. The placement of the cows, each one a solid mass against the misty background, creates a rhythm, a gentle undulation that mirrors the rolling hills. The print reminds me a little of Whistler's nocturnes, these dreamy landscapes. Both works embrace ambiguity, offering a space for contemplation and reverie.
