Cow Weather Vane c. 1938

"Cow Weather Vane" is a 1938 design by Beverly Chichester (1855-1995), depicting a side profile of a cow mounted on a crossbar. The cow is rendered in a realistic style, with detailed musculature and a textured brown coat that suggests metal. The artwork is likely a design for a functional weather vane, as the crossbar suggests a mounting point. This design captures the simplicity and practicality of farm life, highlighting the importance of animals for sustenance and weather forecasting.
