Cow Study portrait 8" / 20cm x 25cm20th century French school oil painting on carton. The work has a little texture to the touch. This study of a pair of cows standing next to each other has a wonderful unfinished quality, where about half of the painting is white. This "unfinished" section is painted white, but not colored in. Artists often began paintings that they did not complete as part of the study and sketching process. This was probably one of these pieces. Overall Size: 9. 8"
