Landschap met koe 1780 - 1851

"Landschap met koe" (Landscape with Cow), created between 1780 and 1851 by Pieter Janson, is a delicate pencil drawing depicting a single cow standing in a grassy field. The cow is rendered with subtle detail, its form outlined in light strokes. Above, a light, airy sky is filled with wispy clouds. This simple yet charming composition embodies the Dutch artistic tradition of landscape painting, showcasing the beauty found in everyday scenes. The small scale of the work, measuring just 112 mm in height and 87 mm in width, emphasizes the intimacy of the subject and invites viewers to connect with the tranquil nature of the scene. This drawing is a testament to Janson's talent for capturing the essence of a scene with minimal detail, creating a captivating and timeless piece.
