Boy with Cow at the River's Edge 1868 - 1912

Hashimoto Gahō’s “Boy with Cow at the River’s Edge,” created between 1868 and 1912, is a stunning example of Japanese art. The painting depicts a young boy standing in a river, with a large cow beside him. The use of delicate brushstrokes, soft colors, and subtle details captures the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The calm river, the wispy grass and the gentle interaction between the boy and the cow evokes a sense of serenity and harmony with nature. This piece is a testament to Gahō's talent and exemplifies the beauty and skill of Japanese art during the late Edo period.
