COWS IN PASTURE
Height, 10¼ inches; length, 13½ inches
Two cows, one red and white and the other dun-colored, are standing in the sunlight in the corner of a rich pasture which is bordered by a hedge with a row of slender trees, showing a gate leading into a field beyond. On the right is the steep roof of a farm building rising above the surrounding trees, and in the horizon against a sunlit sky is suggested a second farm-house similarly situated.
Signed at the lower right, A. Mauve.
