HEIFERS, Rosalie Venneman, Belgium, 19th / 20th century
A charming representation of heifers in the cowshed.
Shown during a night's rest, they gather at a watering hole. Thirsty, they do not pay attention to the opening of the gate.
Only one of them turns its head towards an invisible human being. Illuminated by the strong glare of the lamp, she gently looks at the host who looks after them.
