Coloring Book, page 1

This large oil on canvas painting was tossed out with the trash by a neighbor a couple summers ago. I rescued it and dusted it off a bit. It's got a signature "A.W" in the lower right. Curator Douglas Paschall of Woodmere Art Museum told me the picture was a copy of a famous Dutch work, "The Young Bull" 1647 by Dutch Baroque master Paulus Potter. Here's more on what Paschall said and more of my ruminations about cows in art. See flickr for the original.
