About the Item

Decorate a den, study or office with this large antique cow painting. Hand painted in France circa 1860 and set in the original carved blackened and gilt wood frame, the painting on canvas depicts a serene pastoral scene, emblematic of 19th-century European art. The composition centers around a solitary cow standing by a gently flowing stream, set against the backdrop of a dense, autumnal forest. A young boy, dressed in traditional rural attire, sits pensively by the water's edge, adding a quiet human presence to the landscape. The painting's rich color palette, with warm earth tones and subtle contrasts of light, captures the tranquility and simplicity of rural life, a common theme in French Romantic and Realist art. The artist’s detailed brushwork highlights the textures of the cow's fur, the foliage, and the reflections in the water, creating a lifelike portrayal that invites the viewer into the peaceful countryside. Framed in an ornate black and gold frame, the painting not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also as a nostalgic homage to a bygone era of pastoral beauty and simplicity. The painting in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns rich colors and exquisite details; a wonderful addition for a ranch or a hunting lodge! New wire in the back for easy installation. 42"W x 50"H
