Landschap met koeien in een weiland 1867 - 1918

"Landschap met koeien in een weiland" (Landscape with Cows in a Meadow) is a black and white ink drawing by Dutch artist Maurits van der Valk, created between 1867 and 1918. The artwork depicts a serene rural scene with a rolling hillside, a cluster of trees, and a herd of cows grazing in a field. Van der Valk's signature is visible in the lower left corner. This work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, exemplifies Van der Valk's talent for capturing the tranquility of the natural world with a minimalist approach. The drawing's use of subtle shading and tonal variations creates a sense of depth and atmosphere.
