Koeienkop 1855

"Koeienkop" (Cow's Head) is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Heppener, created in 1855. Heppener's work is characterized by meticulous detail and realism, which is evident in this intimate portrayal of a cow's head. The piece, measuring just 79 mm by 57 mm, showcases Heppener's mastery of line and shading, capturing the texture of the cow's fur and the intricate features of its face. The image is both a study of animal anatomy and a testament to the artist's observational skills.
