Koe bij een wilgentenen omheining 1725 - 1792

"Koe bij een wilgentenen omheining" is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Aert Schouman, created between 1725 and 1792. The etching depicts a close-up view of a cow's head, rendered with delicate detail, standing near a willow fence. Schouman, known for his animal studies, captured the cow's features with remarkable accuracy, highlighting the texture of its fur and the expressiveness of its eyes. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Schouman's mastery of the etching technique and his keen observation of animal life.
