Description: | Signed: yes Description: A woman milking a black and white cow next to a river in front of a cottage. She wears a white cap, white neckerchief, brown bodice, white apron and red skirt. Two brown cows nearby, one lying next to the cow being milked, the other stands back to viewer. Two sheep and a lamb in the foreground. Cows can be seen on the far bank of the river. In the distance, a church, wind mill and house. On the left, a thatched cottage sheltered by a large tree. A woman in a grey dress and white head dress stands in the half-door holding a baby or toddler. A man in black sits on the ground to the left of the painting talking to the milkmaid. He wears a black jacket and breeches, white hose, black shoes and black, brimmed hat. His left hand is oddly placed behind his back. With his right hand he points to the milkmaid. A brown and white dog sits next to him looking towards the viewer. All painted in a very hard-edged, crisp style with a bright palette giving a rather stiff effect. | Subjects: | everyday life (cattle grazing milking); landscape; | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gool, Jan van (Dutch painter and critic, 1685-1763) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8310... | Go to resource |
