Koe 1874 - 1945

"Koe" (Cow), a charcoal drawing by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet (1864-1945), is a captivating study of a cow's head and forelegs. The piece, housed at the Rijksmuseum, exhibits a bold and simplified style, with the artist emphasizing the animal's form through stark contrasts of black and white. The gestural lines, capturing the cow's movement and musculature, speak to Cachet's keen observation and expressive approach to animal portraiture.
