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 figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
