This detailed pencil drawing, "Staand rund, van voren gezien," created between 1842 and 1883, showcases his meticulous attention to detail in capturing the anatomy and pose of a cow. The realism of the drawing is enhanced by the use of shading and the inclusion of a subtle shadow cast by the animal, adding depth to the composition. De Haas's expertise in animal portraiture is evident in the lifelike portrayal of the cow, making it a compelling subject for viewers interested in animal studies and realism.
