This drawing titled "Koe" by Dutch artist Barend Johannes Bouwmeester depicts a detailed study of a cow standing near a fence. The realistic depiction of the cow’s anatomy and the subtle shading create a sense of depth and life. Bouwmeester's artistic career spanned nearly 70 years and was known for his drawings and paintings of animals. This work is an example of his keen observation and skill in capturing the beauty of nature.
