Here is what Kenneth Westwood (author, catalogue of Cooper's work) has to say about the above work.
"Reflecting the trend of many of his late oil paintings, Cooper executed few very large drawings of this calibre. The landscape detail, with a low horizon characteristic of so many works.. attention focused on the highly detailed drawing of the group of cattle..."
" In 1884-6 and again in 1891 Cooper painted large snow covered winter landscapes in watercolours, all approximately 26 x 40 inches.Typical of all these is the present watercolour, with a herd of cattle on a bleak winter's day, some sheltering in a thatched barn heavy with snow. To the left are mature oak trees, the foremost with a lightning blasted top- a popular compositional feature in many of Cooper's works, in preference to depicting a full canopy of leaves in the upper branches, allowing a colour contrast to be introduced in the exposed hollowed trunk."

Why Buy Contemporary Art of Bangladesh?
People who had the foresight to invest in Indian and Pakistani art at the outset are now reaping the benefit of exponential growth. Bangladesh contemporary art is predicted to have the same impact on the market once it gets into the mainstream international art scene.
With the support of Hampstead Gallery and the major auction houses who have indicated their willingness to incorporate Bangladesh Art into their contemporary Indian and Pakistani Art Sales the question is not ‘if’ but ‘when’.
Don’t miss this opportunity, invest now when the prices are most reasonable.
