  • 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
