What could be more fitting on these hot days of summer than to dip your toes in a cool stream of water. This painting captures a serene pastoral scene, featuring a small herd of cows cooling in a tranquil stream, set against a lush, verdant landscape. There is a balance between detail and impressionism giving this painting a lifelike quality. The detailed portrayal of the cows, capturing their leisurely posture, against the impressionistic brushwork in the foliage.
