Liggende koe en een bok 1620 - 1720

This anonymous etching, created sometime between 1620 and 1720, depicts a lying cow and a goat in a simple, naturalistic style. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow gives the animals a sense of volume and depth, while the delicate lines and subtle textures convey a sense of realism. The artwork is a testament to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with the natural world, and its simple yet powerful depiction of animal life continues to resonate with viewers today. This etching is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
