The artwork titled “Marcoussis Cows Grazing” by Camille Corot, created between 1845 and 1850, is a landscape painting executed in oil on canvas. It belongs to the Realism art movement and is currently held in a private collection.
In the artwork, a serene pastoral scene is depicted with cows scattered across a lush, verdant field as they graze. The tranquil setting is complemented by a backdrop of tall, leafy trees and a clear blue sky sprinkled with soft, white clouds. The meticulous attention to detail and the gentle play of light and shadow reflect Corot’s mastery in capturing the peacefulness and natural beauty of the countryside. The landscape is rendered with a realist approach, where the emphasis is on portraying the scene with sincerity and precision.
