"Resting Calves" is a notable painting by the Scottish artist David Gauld, an influential figure in the Glasgow Boys movement, which was part of the larger European art nouveau and symbolist movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Created in 1889, this work exemplifies Gauld's adeptness at blending naturalism with a decorative, almost illustrative style that was characteristic of the Glasgow Boys.

The painting depicts a serene rural scene, featuring a group of calves resting in a lush, green meadow. Gauld's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the subtleties of light and shadow bring a lifelike quality to the animals and the surrounding landscape. The composition is both tranquil and dynamic, with the relaxed postures of the calves contrasting with the vibrant, textured background.

"Resting Calves" is celebrated for its harmonious color palette and the artist's skillful use of line and form. Gauld's background in stained glass design is evident in the painting's strong outlines and the almost mosaic-like arrangement of colors, which add a decorative quality to the naturalistic subject matter. This blend of styles is a hallmark of Gauld's work and reflects the broader aesthetic tendencies of the Glasgow Boys, who sought to break away from the academic traditions of the time and embrace a more modern, expressive approach to art.

The painting is housed in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, where it continues to be admired for its technical excellence and its contribution to the Scottish art scene. "Resting Calves" not only showcases David Gauld's individual talent but also serves as a testament to the innovative spirit of the Glasgow Boys, who played a crucial role in the development of modern art in Scotland.
