En kostald 1859

"En kostald" (The Cow Stable) is an 1859 etching by Danish artist Johannes Wilhelm Zillen (1824–1870). The artwork depicts a cow and a calf in a barn, with hay stored above them. The intimate scene captures the daily life of rural Denmark, and was likely popular with audiences of the time due to its subject matter. The etching is characterized by its fine detail and delicate shading, creating a sense of realism. Zillen was known for his skillful use of light and shadow in his etchings. Today, "En kostald" is part of the collection at the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
