The artwork, titled “Cow Pasture near Louveciennes,” is an oil painting on canvas created by Alfred Sisley in 1874. This piece is a notable example of the Impressionism art movement and measures 60.9 x 45.7 cm. The genre of the artwork is landscape, capturing a serene pastoral scene.
The artwork depicts a tranquil countryside setting with lush green foliage, a winding path, and grazing cows. Tall trees dominate the foreground, their richly textured leaves created with varying shades of green. A person leans against a large tree in the left part of the scene, suggesting a moment of quiet reflection amidst nature. The pathway curves gracefully through the landscape, leading the viewer’s eye towards the distant background. The sky above is a mix of blue and white, indicative of a calm, partly cloudy day. Sisley’s brushstrokes are loose and expressive, characteristic of the Impressionist style, conveying a sense of movement and light within the natural environment.
