Koekop 1813

"Koekop" is an 1813 etching by Dutch artist Diederik Jan Singendonck. The detailed depiction of a cow's head in profile, with its distinctive black and white markings, showcases Singendonck's skill in animal portraiture. The work's small size and intimate perspective suggest it was intended for a private collection, perhaps a study of animal anatomy or a reminder of rural life. The artist's signature and date at the bottom add a personal touch to this evocative and historically significant print.
