Liggende koe 1878 - 1910

"Liggende koe," a black and white etching created by Belgian artist Léopold Haeck, features a single reclining cow, its body rendered with precise detail and subtle shading. The print's small size (111 mm x 139 mm) and intimate composition lend an air of quiet observation. The cow's relaxed posture and detailed fur create a sense of realism, showcasing Haeck's keen eye for capturing animal anatomy and texture. This work exemplifies Haeck's exploration of animal subjects in his art, reflecting a broader interest in naturalistic depictions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
