About this work

Overview

Høstlandskab med korntraver, executed in 1850 by the artist recorded as 1008_person, is a monochrome representation of a rural scene. The work is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. It depicts a solitary cow amidst tall grasses, with a modest horizon marked by scattered trees and a gentle rise of land on the right.

Subject & Meaning

The composition centers on a single bovine, positioned calmly within a field of high grass, suggesting a tranquil moment of pastoral life. The distant trees and low hill frame the animal, emphasizing its integration into the surrounding landscape and evoking a sense of quiet coexistence between livestock and nature.

Technique & Style

Rendered in black and white, the image relies on loose, gestural brushwork to convey the movement of grass and the texture of the cow’s fur. Soft, cloud‑filled skies merge with the terrain, avoiding hard outlines and reinforcing a naturalistic, realist approach to everyday countryside scenes.

History & Provenance

Created in the mid‑nineteenth century, the piece entered the holdings of the Museum of Ethnography, where it remains accessible to the public. Its acquisition reflects the institution’s interest in documenting agrarian life and visual culture from the period.
