Cattle on Saltholm 1912

Theodor Philipsen's "Cattle on Saltholm" from 1912 depicts a pastoral scene with a herd of brown cows grazing in a field. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes capture the light and textures of the landscape, including the subtle details of the cows' fur and the distant landscape. The painting's calm composition and naturalistic subject matter are characteristic of Philipsen's style, which is known for its intimate portrayal of everyday life and the beauty of the natural world. This artwork is a classic example of Danish realism, a style that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
