Liggende koe 1862 - 1938

Alphonse Stengelin's "Liggende koe" (1862-1938) is an etching of a cow lying down on a bed of straw. The artist was known for his detailed depictions of animals and natural scenes, which was typical of the Realist movement in Dutch art. This print's realistic depiction of the cow is evident in the subtle details of the animal’s fur and the texture of the straw. It is a testament to Stengelin's mastery of the etching technique, as well as his keen eye for observation.
