⊕ MARIE-LOUISE VON MOTESICZKY (AUSTRIAN-BRITISH 1906-1996)
COW STRETCHING OVER HEDGE IN FIELD
oil on canvas
40.5 x 51cm; 16 x 20in
(unframed)
Painted in the 1960s. As noted in lot 1, apart from domesticated pets it was rare for Marie-Louise to paint animals in nature, but in the present work she seems to have been attracted by the cow's innocent eye and the enthusiastic lick of its large pink tongue, an action she captures with typical wit and veracity.
