I managed to catch these four bankers (?) in the banking district of Toronto (its "Wall Street" on King and Bay) at the Mies van der Rohe Toronto Dominion Centre a couple of days ago. The cows in the back are by Canadian sculpture Joe Fafard titled "The Pasture" which I describe in a previous post:
The sculptures above are titled "The Pasture" by Joe Fafard. They look like they are in the tradition of Pastorals:
The adjective pastoral refers to the lifestyle of pastoralists, such as shepherds herding livestock around open areas of land according to seasons and the changing availability of water and pasturage. It also refers to a genre in literature, art or music that depicts such shepherd life in an idealized manner, for urban audiences. As a noun, a pastoral refers to a single work of such poetry, music or drama.
