Catalogue raisonné: Description in Flemish paintings C. 1600-C. 1800 III, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 2010, cat.no. 147:

Technical notes: The oak panel consists of a single
board with a horizontal grain and all four sides have been
bevelled on the verso.
The preparation has been executed with a broad brush
from edge to edge and consists of a white, probably
chalk, ground that is covered by a semi-transparent yellowish-
brownish imprimatura. A thin dark opaque layer
can be inferred in the preparation. The preparatory layers
cover the structure of the support completely.
The paint layer is very thin and opaque and also
applied semi-transparently. The imprimatura is visible in
places in the painting. Small corrections of the horns of
the cattle can be seen. There is writing in the middle of
the top edge, under the paint layer on the imprimatura,
which is dark and may be in pencil. There are vertical
marks in the paint layer on the left and right edge that
were made when the paint was not dry and can be the
result of an earlier temporary mounting during the
painting process which was later removed after it had
been completed. The paint layer does not extend completely
to the left, right and lower edges so that the
imprimatura is clearly visible. The palette is subdued in
earth colours with elements of white and a blue pigment
The painting is in very good condition. The varnish
has, however, yellowed. The painting underwent conservation
treatment in 1929.

Provenance: Bequeathed by C. A. and Maria Redin in
1917.

The eclectic nature of this painting accords well with
what could be expected in view of Regemorter’s picturesque
career. He has combined a number of heterogeneous
elements from his Flemish repertoire – a
church, two cows, an industrious peasant couple – and
has filled out the background with a pair of sheep.
