Untitled (Winter Cows) [No date]

Untitled (Winter Cows) [no date]: View of a winter landscape with four cows, trees, and a distant building. In the foreground, on the right, is a small section of brown grass, presumably a small creek, in the lower right corner. A small line of brown extends diagonally toward the left section of the middle ground to a hole with water. On the left of the foreground are a few smalls sections of grass, but mostly snow. In the center of the middle ground are the four cows, which gather around the small hole of water. On the left is a small white and red calf that stands away from the viewer. To the right is a large brownish red cow that stands angled slightly toward the viewer, with its head lowered to drink. To the right of this cow is another white and red cow, whose body is in profile slightly away from the viewer, with its head also lowered to drink. to the right of this cow is another smaller cow, which is red. This cow stands facing the viewer with its head turned slightly toward the left. To the left of these cows is a stone fence with a wooden post. Leading away from this fence (entrance) are small hoof tracks from the cows at the center of the composition. Also on the left, behind the cows are two large tree trunks. On the right is a large expanse of snow, with slight hills. On both the left and right sides of the hills on the right side of the composition are more bare trees. At the center, furthest in the back are what appear to be a few buildings or houses. The sky, with its blue and white blends into the snow on the ground.
