Koe en schaap 1818

"Koe en schaap" (Cow and Sheep) is an etching by Dutch artist Anthony Jacobus Offermans, created in 1818. The print depicts a cow grazing in a field, with a sheep lying in the background. The artwork is a fine example of Offermans' skill in capturing the details of animal anatomy, as well as the natural world. The etching is rendered in a realistic style, with careful attention to the textures of the cow's hide and the sheep's wool. Offermans was known for his pastoral landscapes and animal studies, often incorporating elements of Dutch Golden Age painting into his work.
