Gerard Altmann (1877–1940) – Cows in a Dutch polder landscape Charming Dutch landscape by Gerard Altmann (1877–1940), painted in oil on canvas. The composition depicts a quiet polder landscape with grazing cows beside a narrow waterway, bordered by trees and open meadows. Altmann is known for precisely this type of atmospheric Dutch landscape, often featuring cattle, waterways, willows and expansive lowland scenery. The work is executed in a loose, impressionistic manner, with particular attention to reflections in the water, changing light and the soft tonal transitions of the landscape. The cows are rendered with lively, confident brushwork and form the focal point of the composition. Signed G. Altmann lower right.
