1836 painting by Jules Dupré
Cows Crossing a Ford is an oil on canvas painting by French artist Jules Dupré, from 1836. It is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York.[1]
The work depicts farmers driving their cattle across a river in Limousin, a region of central France. The way in which the low horizon and sky are rendered in the painting are a testament to Dupré's interest in the works of John Constable and Richard Parkes Bonington, two landscape painters. Cows Crossing a Ford is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[2]
