Drie koeien in een weide 1828 - 1893

"Drie koeien in een weide" (Three Cows in a Meadow) is a black and white etching by Dirk van Lokhorst, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and animal depictions. Created between 1828 and 1893, the work showcases three cows in a pastoral setting, one lying down, one standing, and the other partially hidden behind the standing cow. The composition is simple yet evocative, highlighting the artist's keen eye for detail and ability to capture the natural world. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to van Lokhorst's skill in depicting rural life and the beauty of the Dutch countryside.
