This exquisite work captivates the viewer with its lifelike rendering of a solitary cow standing in a lush meadow. Mauve, a master of the Hague School, employs a subtle yet powerful palette to evoke the tranquility of the rural landscape.In "Koe," the cow is depicted with remarkable detail and sensitivity. Its brown and white coat is rendered with soft brush strokes, highlighting the texture of its fur and the gentle play of light across its body. The background, a harmonious blend of greens and muted earth tones, suggests a late summer or early autumn setting, enhancing the overall feeling of peacefulness.Mauve's skill in capturing the essence of pastoral life is evident in this painting. Each stroke conveys not just the visual beauty of the scene, but also a deeper respect for the simplicity and quietude of agricultural life.

Anthonij "Anton" Rudolf Mauve (18 September 1838 – 5 February 1888) was a Dutch realist painter who was a leading member of the Hague School. He signed his paintings 'A. Mauve' or with a monogrammed 'A.M.'. A master colorist, he was a very significant early influence on his cousin-in-law Vincent van Gogh.

His best-known paintings depict peasants working in the fields. His paintings of flocks of sheep were especially popular with American patrons, so popular that a price differential developed between scenes of "sheep coming" and "sheep going".
