Koeienkop 1766 - 1837

"Koeienkop" is a small etching by Dutch artist Jan van Noort, created between 1766 and 1837. The artwork depicts the head of a cow in a simple, realistic style, with the animal’s face turned toward the viewer. The small size of the etching and the artist’s focus on the cow’s head suggest a study or a preliminary sketch for a larger work. The etching is a testament to van Noort’s skill as a draftsman and his interest in depicting animals with accuracy.
