The artwork titled “Cattle by a Stream,” created by the distinguished artist George Stubbs, is an exquisite oil painting on canvas that belongs to the Romanticism movement. This animal painting currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene rural landscape wherein several cattle are shown leisurely by a stream. To the left of the canvas, a cow stands partially in the stream, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. The central and right portions of the painting feature additional cattle grazing and resting, shaded by lush, verdant trees. The vivid greenery and the careful portrayal of the cattle exemplify the artist’s profound attention to detail. The backdrop is dominated by towering trees under a softly lit sky, contributing to an overall atmosphere of pastoral calm and natural beauty.
