The artwork “Pasture at Deauville” is a creation by the French artist Eugene Boudin, dated circa 1880. This oil painting is a fine example of the Impressionism movement and falls under the genre of animal painting. Currently, it is housed in a private collection. The setting suggests the pastoral serenity that is characteristic of the region around Deauville, France.
Depicted in the artwork is a tranquil rural scene, with placid cows grazing or resting in a field. The palette is dominated by natural earthen tones, reflecting the hues of the landscape and livestock. The brushwork is loose and expressive, capturing the essence of light and atmosphere in a manner typical of Impressionist works. The sky is rendered with an array of greys and whites, suggesting a partly cloudy day. Boudin’s composition allows the viewer to sense the vastness of the open field, while the disposition of the cows provides a serene focal point within the expansive setting.
