A Taste for the Fine Arts 1868–78 Currier & Ives In a rural landscape with a river or lake backed by mountains, an artist's easel and painting equipment have been left unattended. The artist has moved away to chat with a woman holding a pail outside a cottage and neither notice the cattle attracted to his belongings. A cow licks the canvas propped on the easel, a calf moves towards the open painting box, and a bull with a bell around its neck looks at the A Taste for the Fine Arts. 1868–78. Hand-colored lithograph. Currier & Ives (American, active New York, 1857–1907). Prints
