Koe staand bij een oever 1925

"Koe staand bij een oever" (Cow Standing by a Bank), a 1925 etching by Dutch artist Henk Henriët, depicts a single cow in a simple, almost abstract style. Henriët's minimalist approach to the subject matter and the use of subtle shading create a sense of solitude and tranquility. The cow's body, depicted in black and white, is rendered with minimal detail, while the background features a fence and a tree, further adding to the sense of serenity. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Henriët's artistic exploration of rural landscapes and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life through his distinctive style.
