English Cow Portrait in Half-Moon Form, Wooden Frame - circa 1920
About the Item
Painted in England circa 1920, this half-moon shaped livestock portrait depicts a standing cow rendered in a naturalistic style, positioned against a backdrop of verdant pasture and dense woodland. The painter has paid careful attention to the cow’s stance and markings, capturing the animal’s full profile with clarity and restraint. The detailed brushwork emphasizes the tonal contrast between the brown and white coat and the surrounding landscape, creating a calm yet purposeful rural composition.
The oil on canvas is housed in a distinctive arched wooden frame with pegged joinery and a warm-toned finish that complements the subject. The form and craftsmanship of the frame suggest it may have been purpose-built for an agricultural setting, perhaps a dairy hall or breeding facility, where such portraits were traditionally displayed to commemorate prized animals.
A signature reading Rowan Jones appears at the lower right. While the identity of the artist remains to be fully established, the work stands as a fine example of early 20th-century English livestock portraiture—rich in character, regional charm, and decorative impact.
