Improper cow 1

The other cow at Box Hill. A cow which fell into the sin of allowing itself to be used as a canvas for a painting which took little account of its cowness.

A similar sin to the Georgian pictorial heresy we are told about in Stanley Shepherd's book on Pugin's stained glass: the design of stained glass to be placed in windows in churches should leverage the context, not ignore it. See reference 1.
