Cows in the barn 1901

"Cows in the Barn" (1901) by Gustav Klimt depicts a group of cows in a dimly lit barn. The scene is dominated by a brown and white cow standing in the foreground, its form partially obscured by the wooden stall. Klimt's use of muted tones and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of intimacy and realism, capturing the quietude of a rural setting. This early work by the artist, known for his later golden-hued paintings, demonstrates Klimt's early fascination with natural light and the nuances of animal forms.
