Liggende koe, van voren 1815

"Liggende koe, van voren" is a pencil drawing by Jean Bernard, created in 1815. It depicts a cow lying down in a field, viewed from the front. The artist's precise detail and careful shading give a sense of realism to the cow's form and the surrounding grass. Bernard, a Dutch artist, was known for his animal studies, and this drawing exemplifies his skill in capturing the subtle nuances of animal anatomy and posture. The drawing is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
