Twee koeien 1635 - 1645

Claude Lorrain's "Twee koeien" (Two Cows) is a small, detailed pencil drawing dating back to the 1630s. The work showcases Lorrain's talent for rendering animal forms, with the cows depicted in a naturalistic and anatomical style. The drawing likely served as a study for a larger composition, highlighting Lorrain's practice of detailed observation. This piece, now located in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Lorrain's skill in capturing the essence of the natural world, a hallmark of his artistic legacy.
