A farmer with cows on a country road in the rain, Anton Mauve, between 1848 and 1888

A farmer's wife has raised her umbrella and is driving four cows in front of her. “the thoroughly wet atmosphere is so well struck that one gets wet feet if one looks at it for a long time,” wrote one reviewer. It is remarkable that, in contrast to mauve's equestrian pieces, in which the horses walk towards the horizon, the cattle in his cattle pieces usually approach the viewer.
