"Køer ved stranden" (Cows by the Beach), a black and white etching by Danish artist Otto Haslund, depicts a simple scene of a herd of cows wading in shallow water on a beach. Created in 1874, the print showcases Haslund's meticulous detail and sensitivity to light and shadow, characteristic of his realist style. This small but impactful piece is now part of the collection at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
