Koeien bij wilgen 1876 - 1910

"Koeien bij wilgen" (Cows by Willows) is an etching by Alphonse Stengelin, a Dutch artist known for his landscape and animal depictions. This particular work, created between 1876 and 1910, captures a peaceful rural scene. Two cows rest in a field, one lying down and the other standing near a willow tree. The delicate lines of the etching create a sense of tranquility and evoke the quiet beauty of the Dutch countryside. The artist's signature appears in the bottom left corner of the piece, signifying his authorship and adding a personal touch. This work is a fine example of Stengelin's ability to capture the essence of nature with masterful detail and subtle composition.
