Stop for Cows

Ask anything

Yixuan Ma asked

May I ask where the painting Stop for Cows by Alexander Colville is created? In which city it was created? Thank you very much!
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

Dear Yixuan Ma,
Alexander Colville was a Canadian artist. At the time this painting was made he lived in Nova Scotia, a province in eastern Canada. The mountains in the background could be the Appalachians of Nova Scotia. The exact location is unknown, but I hope this answers your question!
Kind Regards, Sofie
