The Cows is a painting by Vincent van Gogh, produced in July 1890 during his stay in Doctor Gachet's home in Auvers-sur-Oise. It is based on an 1873 Paul van Ryssel etching Gachet owned of Jacob Jordaens's Study of Five Cows, exhibited in the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille.
The work is one of a series of copies of previous artist's works that Van Gogh painted towards the end of his life. Van Gogh's painting is also now held at the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille.[1]
