Basic Information
Historical Context
Another variant in Cuyp's milkmaid series, similar to No. 98, depicting milking beside a pond. The ducks/geese and pond elements are shared between the two variants.
Artistic Appreciation
Sharing the pond-side milking theme with No. 98, the ducks/geese swimming in the pond add the vitality of waterfowl to the pastoral scene, and the herd of four or more cattle provides a rich environment for the milking activity. The water reflection is the lighting highlight of this painting, and the golden light gives the pond a warm sheen. Comparing the two versions reveals Cuyp's careful fine-tuning of the same scene.
