Pastoral Scene With Cows / Year 1835 / Gouache On Parchment

Superb gouache on paper from 1835 depicting a charming pastoral scene. The work shows two cows in a stable: one lying down, with a brown coat and elegant horns, and the other standing, with a red and white spotted coat. The realism of the work is evident in the attention to detail: the texture of the coat, the expression of the looks and the subtle play of light create a peaceful and authentic atmosphere.
The date 1835 is inscribed on the original paper to which the work is glued. Although this inscription is hidden by the marie-louise and the frame, a photo was taken to preserve proof. The whole is presented under glass in a very beautiful frame with a marie-louise and a gilded bevel, which elegantly highlight the finesse of the work.
