Landschap met twee koeien en bebouwing 1811

"Landschap met twee koeien en bebouwing" (Landscape with Two Cows and Buildings), created in 1811 by Pierre François De Noter, is a delicate etching depicting a serene rural scene. The composition is centered around two cows grazing in a field under the shade of a prominent tree in the foreground. In the distance, a village with a church or a manor house is visible, adding a touch of human presence to the idyllic landscape. The detailed rendering of the trees and the subtle shading of the sky create a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of De Noter's landscape etchings. This small-scale print, measuring only 104mm by 146mm, is a fine example of De Noter's skill in capturing the beauty of the Dutch countryside. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
