Original drypoint printed in colors on Somerset wove paper. Edition of 50, numbered in pencil lower left. Published by Crown Point Press, San Francisco; printed by Lawrence Hamlin at Crown Point Press. Sheet size: 45.7 x 50.8 cm (18 x 20 in) Image size: 22.9 x 30.5 cm (9 x 12 in) Frame size: 55.2 x 60.0 x 3.8 cm (21 3/4 x 23 5/8 x 1 1/2 in)// In this intimate drypoint, three cows ascend a steep, sunlit hillside in close single file, their forms rendered with Thiebaud's characteristic warmth and understated humour. The rich, layered colour — earthy browns, pale yellows, and soft blues — is built through the drypoint's velvety burr, lending the pastoral scene a tactile luminosity. The steeply raked diagonal composition creates a sense of quiet movement and rural rhythm that is unmistakably Thiebaud. A beautiful example of his late printmaking, this work distils the Californian landscape tradition into a scene of gentle, affectionate observation that rewards sustained looking.

What is Bay Area Figurative Art ?
The Bay Area Figurative Movement, which also goes by the names Bay Area Figurative School, Bay Area Figurative Art, or Bay Area Figuration, came to existence in San-Francisco Bay Area. This was in the mid-20th century, when a group of artists from the area stopped working on the then popular Abstract Expressionism for a preference to figuration in painting. The movement lasted a total of two decades during the 1950's and 1960's.
