"Weiland met een staande en liggende koe" (Pasture with a Standing and Lying Cow) is an etching by Dutch artist Wouter Johannes van Troostwijk. Created between 1792 and 1810, the artwork depicts two cows, one standing and the other lying down, in a grassy field. The simple composition and meticulous detail showcase van Troostwijk's talent for animal portraiture. The etching is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam. The work is a testament to the artist's keen observation of nature and his ability to capture the quiet beauty of everyday life. The etching's small size further emphasizes the intimacy of the subject matter.
