A Cowherd at Valhermeil, Auvers-sur-Oise

Camille Pissarro

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape painting depicting a serene countryside scene. A dirt path runs from the bottom left corner, curving right. A figure in a blue dress stands on the path with two cows, one brown and white, the other black and white. In the background, more cows graze. A house with a reddish roof and white walls sits among trees on a hillside. The hill is covered in patches of green, yellow, and brown vegetation, with many thin trees. The sky is blue with scattered white clouds. Trees line the right side and extend into the background. The overall scene is bathed in natural light.
