Amid golden fields of grass, a group of Nigerian herdsmen and their cattle wander, coats reflecting the sunlight and blending them into the landscape. Gowen’s loose brushwork captures the serenity of the pastoral scene, while the figures—armed with long sticks and seemingly on patrol—imbue it with a sense of movement and action.
