Studie van een rund 1838 - 1840

"Studie van een rund" (Study of a Cow) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Pierre Frédéric Lehnert, created between 1838 and 1840. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the head and shoulders of a cow in profile with a detailed and expressive rendering of the animal's anatomy and features. The artist's skillful use of shading and detail highlights the texture of the cow's fur and the curve of its horns, creating a sense of realism. The background, although partially obscured, features other cattle grazing, adding a sense of context and environment.
