“Oxen Resting,” a painting by John Singer Sargent created circa 1910, is an oil-on-canvas work belonging to the Impressionism movement. Measuring 54.61 x 69.85 cm, this animal painting is part of a private collection.
In the artwork, Sargent masterfully captures the tranquil scene of oxen resting in a sun-dappled environment. The use of light and shadow creates a warm, serene atmosphere, typical of Impressionist techniques. The inclusion of human figures and elements of the surrounding landscape, bathed in natural light, contributes to the work’s calm and peaceful ambiance. The brushstrokes are loose yet detail-oriented, highlighting Sargent’s ability to convey both the essence and the particulars of the scene.
