Staande koe in een stal, naar rechts 1812

"Staande koe in een stal, naar rechts" (Standing Cow in a Stable, to the Right) is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist Jean Bernard in 1812. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a cow standing in a stable, its body turned to the right. Bernard's meticulous detail is evident in the depiction of the cow's anatomy, the texture of the hay, and the wooden beams of the stable. The drawing exemplifies Bernard's keen observation and ability to capture the essence of everyday life in a realistic manner. This piece demonstrates his commitment to realism, a common trend in Dutch art during this period.
