{"product_id":"manner-of-loutherbourg-framed-oil-cattle-at-rest","title":"Antique Cow and Sheep Landscape Oil Painting, In the manner of Philip de Loutherbourg","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA red-brown cow stands over a resting sheep, with a lamb and a second sheep settled beside them in the shade of a craggy outcrop and a hazy river plain behind. It sits in the English pastoral tradition of the later 18th century and is offered in the manner of Philip de Loutherbourg, which means it resembles his work and claims nothing more. The rock has a profile that looks a bit like a face, and most people notice it about a minute in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Artist | In the manner of Philip de Loutherbourg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Signature | None observed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Medium | Oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Subject | Cow, sheep and lamb resting beneath a rocky outcrop in a pastoral landscape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Origin | English, likely\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Canvas Size | 14.5 in.

Painters working in England from the mid 18th century through the early 19th century who favoured grazing animals, rocky outcrops and softly lit distances over grand historical subjects.
