Cows Crossing a Ford

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.
