A vibrant pastoral scene by California Impressionist Selden Connor Gile, depicting a tight procession of spotted cattle set against soft green hills and pale sky. The compact scale and lively impasto brushwork are characteristic of Gile’s late-period output, with this example reflecting the artist’s enduring fascination with rural Marin County.
