"Staande koe" (Standing Cow), a 1761-1784 etching by Johannes Janson, is a detailed depiction of a cow standing in a field, with a distant village visible in the background. The artist's meticulous use of line and shading captures the animal's form and texture with precision. This print is characteristic of Janson's work, known for its naturalistic approach to animal portraiture and its meticulous detail in depicting natural settings. The print is housed in the Rijksmuseum and measures 104 mm in height and 148 mm in width. This small but refined etching exemplifies Janson's mastery of the medium, contributing to his recognition as a leading figure in 18th-century Dutch animal art.
