Where to See Calves in a Field Bordered by Willow Trees

Dutch artist Piet Mondrian painted this pastoral scene of calves grazing among willow trees. The Dutch landscape shows Mondrian's early naturalistic style before his famous abstract period. Soft colors and traditional composition mark his apprentice years.

Comparing this to his later grid paintings shows Mondrian's radical evolution. This work remains in a private collection.

This is an early work from Mondrian's figurative period, before his abstract paintings Piet Mondrian created it as part of the Dutch artistic tradition.

Calves in a Field is in a private collection and not publicly displayed.

Mondrian began painting naturalistic Dutch landscapes with animals and trees. Over two decades, he gradually abstracted nature into horizontal and vertical lines, eventually arriving at his iconic grid paintings.
