Twee schetsen van een staande koe, naar rechts 1821

"Twee schetsen van een staande koe, naar rechts" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jean Bernard, created in 1821. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two cows standing in a grassy field, one slightly higher than the other. The cows are depicted with a simple, yet detailed style, emphasizing their forms and anatomy. Bernard's focus on animal subjects, particularly cows, reveals a connection to Dutch artistic traditions that celebrated the beauty of nature and the countryside.
