Cows in a Pasture 1883

Eugène Boudin's "Cows in a Pasture" (1883) is a serene depiction of rural life. The painting captures a peaceful moment in a sun-dappled field with a group of cows resting in the lush grass. The cloudy sky and gentle brushstrokes give the painting a sense of tranquility, reminiscent of the Barbizon School's focus on nature. The distant farmhouse adds to the overall sense of pastoral charm. Boudin's mastery of light and atmosphere is evident in the subtle variations of color and texture, making "Cows in a Pasture" a beautiful and evocative portrayal of a simple scene.
