SOLD Great Old Varnished Cow Painting on Wood Panel antique gift book all to the good II found this one at the Rhinebeck Antiques show last weekend and was sold in one second flat lots of life to this cow, and also a certain effortlessness to the rendering, and that white triangle at the center of its forehead lands just right to hold it all together. With a perfect wispiness to the end of its tail and painterly dark green grass all around its nicely hoofed feet. With a thin layer of stain varnish over top, and lots of pencil writing
