A PASTURE IN HOLLAND
Water Color
Height, 21 inches; length, 30 inches
In the foreground a brown and white cow is browsing on the rough herbage of a broad pasture, and near her stands a peasant in a blue blouse. The pasture is bounded on the right by an irregular hedge of small trees, and on the left, in the middle distance, are seen approaching a cow and calf, and several other cattle. The view extends across the broad, irregular pasture to a distant horizon, softened by the delicate mist of summer. The sky is nearly covered by luminous clouds, and a few birds flutter above the trees.
Signed at the lower right, Jan Vrolyk.
